    Thank you, Bion. Your afternoon sit is a highlight of Ango for me, so I will join as often as I can.

    I have a lot to learn; take anything I say that sounds like teaching with a grain of salt.

        As we´re just a week away from kicking off our Ango, for a third year in a row now, I would like to invite you to join me for zazen during the next three months. As in the previous years, this will be a friendly, warm gathering, lasting just half an hour.
        This year we’ll get together for 6 days each week, beginning next Saturday, after our Monthly Zazenkai, with Sunday being off this time around, because we are working on adding some other exciting practice opportunities, and for safety, I need an available day For local times, please check out the Practice Calendar here: CALENDAR

        I cannot wait to see all of you!

        Gassho
        Lovely!
        20:00 is a good time most nights.
        Would it be OK, Bion, if I already start before 20:00 and continue after? I have committed to sitting a lot this ango.
        Yes, and I will probably only be picture this year as well. In our small apartment here..

            Hi, Houzan! It´ll be great to have you there again. You could start early and continue, though it might be a bit odd to just ignore everyone as they come in and as we exchange a few words, catch up with each other.. you know how it is.

            See you starting Saturday!

                Thank you for bringing again this new opportunity of sitting, Bion. Unfortunately, this semester, it's in the middle of my "office work" of preparing classes and studying the disciplines; so, I would not participate (sorry ).
                Good sitting to all!

                        It was good to sit with you last night, and to meet you, I’ve been sitting alone for quite some time ( due to my geographical location) and it’s nice to be part of a Sangha again.
                        I’m going to make the evening sitting a regular fixture during this Ango period.
                        Many thanks for facilitating this,
                        Gassho,

                        Though we do not preach the doctrine,
                        Unasked the flowers bloom in spring;
                        They fall and scatter,
                        They turn to dust.
