Thank you, Bion. An additional (evening) sit is one of my Ango commitments too. 9 pm local time perfectly matches your timing.
I will be joining you when available

Today's zazen was great. I ran out of the gym and sat down with my clothes a little wet from the rain.
Then, I could hear the drops of water falling on the roofs.
After finishing, I recited Hannya Shinguio and the Four Great Boddhissattva Vows.

Thank you, friends, for your efforts and commitment during this Ango. I am surprised daily that you show up in such large numbers to sit together. You really support me throughout this season of intense practice and I hope I manage to give some of that support back! Today was just a lovely surprise, to see so many of you! Thank you

Hello, all! Our annual Ango group photo is here!
Of course, we have to make a special mention of all our dear friends who were not present today, but have been a constant support for us throughout these 3 months: our dear Shonin, Mary Ann (who I hope is enjoying her trip this year), Franjo, lavy, Jay, Tom, Washin and I am sure I am forgetting other names so please forgive my silly brain. I celebrate that for the first time in 3 years, I managed to catch Kotei and have him in the photo
I say this to you daily and I will say it again: I appreciate all of you!
