We Are All in This Together (1)

Dear Jundo, It is been a long time since I don´t connect here. I am sorry to be away. For some reason this crazy time made me think again about Zen and how importante is to be focuzed and centered. I am not talking only about the vírus, but familiar problems that are killing my Zen. I can´t sleep well anymore. Read Suzuki Roshi again (the calmness chapter) trying to get some confort.

I remember the Zen feeling and how good it feels.... I want it back, I am trying to stop carrying this load and become a beginner again.

A new beginning.

This is just what I needed to hear right now.

Thank you.

Dear Jundo (and all TL Bodhisattvas)

I've not posted very much since joining (I tend to just sit, read what you all have to say, keep my mouth shut, and try learn something).

But I wanted to express my thanks for this video in particular, and for the whole of the Treeleaf sangha's response to these tragic and terrifying times.

Truly, I see GuanYin manifest herself right here, right now.

Blaize.

When we are all overwhelmed with how fast things are happening, I want to thank you all for our practice and our Sangha. And also thank you for this comforting message, Jundo Roshi.

I could only walk a couple of hundred metres because my lungs are not in great shape but here's a snippet of stuff we saw. Unfortunately there were a few Froglets that were too fast for me or my partner to capture.
Be kind to yourself and look out for each other.

Thank you for this, Onka! I love frogs.

I was supposed to be at a flower/garden show today with my Chicago friends. Instead we're texting each other pictures of our houseplants and such. I have some crocuses growing in my front lawn, so that's something.

Thank you Jundo and all.

Yes many of our ancestors, both biological and Zen, had lives so much harder than we can even imagine. My grandfather came over on steerage to Ellis Island and was dirt poor, but also fought in the war, and my mother had rickets from malnutrition as a child. They overcame.

Please keep posting the lovely little snippets of everyday life and nature everyone!
Here’s mine:

Anyone remember Ketis from Rohatsu? He provides daily Samu as he rolls in the mud and must be groomed and fed...

Thank you Jundo

@Onka: Your videos reminded me of the cute little toads I used to have in my previous backyard. It was a whole family and I made toad shelters of old flower pots. I really have a soft spot for them and it's nice to have found someone who also loves them :-)
