You were loud and clear and did a wonderful job Shinshi, thank you. I'm old enough to still be amazed that here in the middle of the Mediterranean, I could hear you in New Mexico, Jundo in Japan, and Shingen in Canada, all of us together. I was also very much aware of RyuuDou and Eishuu sharing this moment with us, you were very much in my heart. Gratitude

Just wanted to add my thanks to Jundo, Shingen and my fellow Jukaiees for a wonderful cermony and to all those offering congratulations. And to the guidance of our Unsui(s) on this path.

Jundo I hope you are feeling better in the morning.

Like Shinshi I had some last minute tech issues when I found my webcam mic was not working (not Skyped in years) and hastily tried to plug one of my recording mics into my Audio Interface, before realizing it would only work with my DAW running. As a result I could not add to the collective and loud affirmations but just as well as my wife had a stinking head today. Had to turn the volume down for the Circle of Ancestors (?) as the bells set our dog going, who thought someone was at the door - a barking dog and no mic turned out to be a bonus.

Good to know RyuuDou and Eishuu were with us one way, great feeling the presence of the European Possee.

What a ride the last 500 days has been.

So for the benefit Jakuden, I'll sign off anew.

Sei - Meticulous (IMHO work in progress)
Shin - Heart

As I said to Jundo - How can one lose the Way and then gain the Way, in a single heartbeat ? The Do is gone. Long live the Do

Deep bows to you all.

I join the chorus of thanks to Jundo and our Unsui for patiently ushering us through this process, as well as congratulations to all those I was fortunate enough to study with and take Jukai. I can’t thank Shingen enough for his sewing help. Shinshi, I too had to change devices at the last minute and barely got in before it started! Happy to be part of this community.

I managed to make it in the end and was in Room Not-two. I couldn’t hear very well and I have forgotten to put my glasses on show it was all a bit of a blurry.

Hello to all my new Dharma brothers and sisters and thank you to my Dharma Daddy (ugh that sounds weird) for welcoming me into the Sangha

Homage to the Triple Treasure,

Just joined in with the on demand Jukai this evening.

We say "on non-demand" around here, as we are free of all demands ... Maybe "on polite request" Jukai ...

By the way, I just wrote the following to someone who had a technical "non-problem" or otherwise could not be there "live" ... and it sums up my attitude to such ...

You were there! I saw you! Sitting right next to me.

So, in our Sangha we drop all thought of "now and then, here vs. there" ... like good Buddhists do. What you need to do is watch the Ceremony record from last night, and visualize your presence saying all the vows with all your heart, fully present. If you wish, you can then write me that all is done and the Ceremony accomplished. If that is not enough, we can have a brief Skype where you can affirm to me that all is done and the Ceremony accomplished.

Will that do the trick?

Gassho, Jundo

Deep bows and congratulations to the jukaiees.

I was not able to be present at the moment, but my heart is with this sangha always.
I expect to get to know you better and share many activities.
