Hello dear sangha,
Ango is in full speed now and I hope you all are doing fine in your commitments. This is a good time to sit for a little longer and to be with the sangha.
So, in my merry band of Spanish Speaking fellows, Ango began with a bang. Lots of new people came in and now I have even more friends than I ever imagined.
Anyway, after the first week I thought, "well I need to rest at least a full day. I'll sit a mini-Sesshin Antaiji style", where there's only Zazen and Kinhin in 50 and 10 minutes respectively. Since the 16th of September is a holiday here in Mexico, I thought I'd invite people to sit with me expecting no one would join since this kind of Sesshin is really hard core for people who is used to sit for 20 to 25 minutes a day.
I was wrong. Now there are 23 people willing to sit with me! I'll start from 6 AM to 6 PM (Mexico City time) with breaks for eating and rest.
And because it will no longer be a solitary practice, I want to invite Treeleaf to sit with me if possible. I know it's only a holiday in Mexico and the rest of the planet will be busy, but I will be pretty much all day sitting. Please join if you can! I'd be happy to see you all there.
I'll spent the whole day sitting in silence, so there won't be any chanting or dharma talk. However, since there will be some folks new to Kinhin, I'll have to give some instructions in the very first kinhin session.
The schedule is as follows (please note that all times are in Mexico City time):
6:00h – 6:50h: Zazen
6:50h – 7:00h: Kinhin
7:00h – 7:50h: Zazen
