The name RYOKAN COLLEGE (pronounced "rhee-oh-khan") stems from the name of a Japanese 18th century Buddhist renegade monk who left his order's path and moved to live near a remote village in western Japan where he spent the remainder of his life begging, living a Spartan existence, playing with the village children and becoming known for his love of nature and his beautiful poetically written insights about life. The monk, Ryokan, has been compared in temperament and message to America's Henry David Thoreau. The College has no affiliation with any organized religious thought, but its founder, Dr. Alvin P. Ross took the name in memoriam to his son who expressed deep appreciation for the monk's beliefs after taking Buddhist vows and being given the dharma name Ryokan. The inspiration for the College's founding took place during conversations between Dr. Ross and his son in the months preceding his sons early death at 23. In 1978, Dr. Ross established this College to reflect their shared vision, where to date, over 1,200 graduates have received its benefit.
