This is great Kyonin. It will be good to make a habit of doing this monthly once on a weekend

Hi guys!

Thank you all for joining. It was a humbling experience because I had no idea so many people would connect. And I thought it was going to be a lonely day of practice for me.

At one point were 31 people sitting!

I guess this opens the door for more events like this.

We'll see.

Thank you very much.

Thank you Kyonin, I was there for awhile, it was wonderful to sit with you. There were only a few folks there when i joined, but then quite a few more when I was leaving. Thank you for your practice and for your teaching!

Oh, did you record any of this, Kyonin? It would be lovely if people could sit even now.

By the way,

In their YouTube channel, Antaiji posted a little NHK feature about Mygen-San, the extraordinaire Tenzo of the temple. He is a nice, wise and charming guy who cooks like the angels. The video is in Japanese, but you can get a sense of daily life in there.

And I think our very own Mr. K is in the video

Gassho,

Kyonin

Kakunen says it could not be him, as he was not there when filmed. Unless the NHK used old footage, which they do sometimes.

Gassho, J
