Oryoki Circle Two: Opening the Bowls

[Sekishi]

If it turns out to be a hassle, I really wouldn't worry about it. As Myozan told us once, the only ones in the West who use the paper are typically priests who have trained in Japan. I'm glad (and impressed) you gave it a shot, but no need to go further I think.

Hi Dosho,

Thank you for that, but unless you think I actually should not try, I do not mind saying "oops" and starting over (I already have the materials). I actually did 5 really thin coats (front and back this time) this morning before the oryoki circle. It looks like a good start.

Anyhow, I don't mind putting the time into it. I like being "crafty" anyhow, and if I learn anything that might be helpful to others in the future, even better. However, if you think I should not do it, that is fine too.

Gassho,

Hi Eric,
I'm with Dosho on this. You display great commitment to practice. You have offered us a teaching in this. Deep bows to you ... and no need to worry about a Hattan ... but, since I think it is more the joy of practice than a burden for you ... then we will continue to follow your efforts with interest and gratitude.

That's my humble opinion.

I am only just getting around to watching these. Thank you so much, Myozan, and everyone else. This is a great resource.
