    A Special Word for Shugen

    I would like to mention that our novice priest, Shugen, was forced to flee with his family from the terrible fires in Redding, California yesterday. They have no information on the state of their house, or if and when they might return.

    There are also terrible fires in Greece today, an earthquake in Indonesia, more flooding in Japan. I dedicated our Zazenkai yesterday to him and his family, and to all people around the world facing fires, floods and other natural calamity. Let us offer Metta to all.

    Here is more about the fires in Redding.



    Gassho, J

    Metta to Shugen and family, and all those affected by fires around the world. [emoji120]

    If anyone wishes to join me in a sit for Shugen, I will be in the scheduled sitting room tomorrow at the time of his usual Sunday sit, (6 AM PST, 9 AM EST, 1 PM GMT).
    Or just join on insight timer.

              I'll be there, Jakuden. As agreed, chanting the Heart Sutra and closing Vows.

                How awful. Much metta to Shugen and his family and all others affected by this and other natural disasters. I probably won't be able to make 1pm but I will sit for Shugen and family today.

                              There are fires here in Ontario too. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/sudbu...765597?cmp=rss. 7600 hectares burning in what is known in Ontario as cottage country.

                              Metta to Shugen, his family and all of sentient beings impacted by natural disasters
