Remember this week's portion of the Xin Xin Ming ... neither hard or easy ... neither fearful, slack and irresolute nor charging forward ...

      To live in the Great Way
      is neither easy nor difficult,
      but those with limited views
      are fearful and irresolute:
      the faster they hurry, the slower they go.

      I'm very happy to find this video in the beginning of this ANGO 2013.

      I'm very thankful for this lesson, Jundo.

                        Yes, I like this video. It is a good reminder. I also noted where you spoke of the time it takes. I was thinking of my last Ango which was when I was also studying for Jukai. That is much more of a time draw. I found over the last few days that the Ango requirements really don't ask for much. I do the nurturing seeds practice throughout the day for instance. When the negative seed is caught, plant the better seed and water it instead.
                        But the chants and meditation times aren't that big a deal at all really. Focus, get them done. Samu is doing work around the house. Things I'm not normally responsible for. Extra I take on to assist my family overall. Not too much not too little. All in all. it's actually rather simple to do. I think mentally we get caught up thinking it's sooo much additional work. But in reality it isn't.

                              Wonderful Jundo ... thank you for the clarity. Plus, I have to say, love the Grizzly Adams look.
