Hello everyone, isn't it amazing we start Ango tomorrow ? Isnt it overwhelming ? For me, it feels a bit. But thats home-made, right here in my brain. I'm writing this as I feel some of you may feel a bit overwhelmed too, with all that additional study, with more sitting each day, sewing if you participate in Jukai,
