ATTENTION: Special Zazenkai SUNDAY with Rev. EDWARD ESPE BROWN (The Tassajara Tenzo)
Thanks for arranging this special talk. This was my first zazenkai. My internet connection cut out during zazen, but happily that allowed someone else to participate two-way.
Gassho. Sat today.
No merit. Vast emptiness; nothing holy. I don't know.
Wonderful, wonderful! Thank you Jundo, thank you Rev. Ed Brown.
Thank you all for taking part in this lovely event.

I am a novice priest-in-training. Anything that I say must not be considered as teaching
and should be taken with a 'grain of salt'.
Wonderful stuff and so delighted that at 64 years old I no longer have to suffer Imposter syndrome and can abandon all pretence of ever growing up. Loved every moment, thank you Jundo Roshi and Rev Ed for making this happen.

Cinnamon rolls were wonderful yesterday. Thank you responding with wisdom and compassion. The bar in the kitchen of eddiebear Roshi is high. Next time I won't shy away from bringing the banana bread. Bows to all.
