    Thanks for all the kind words and thoughts...my wife is doing fine and thanks you as well.

    This is a wonderful place with many wonderful people and I couldn't have found a better place to practice.

    And now, as often stated by my dear wife, I shall go forth and do an intense study of the rear of my eyelids.

    Love and peace to all.

    -Scott

    Hello Scott,

    Being with your wife is paramount. It is Samu beyond Samu. Keep us posted on how she is doing. Gassho, J

    Hi all,

    For anyone who hasn't started the retreat yet or is checking in during, may I humbly suggest that if you are alone in a far off room in the house that you have a way for your loved ones to easily get your attention or vice versa! Hopefully I'm the only one who didn't think of that since my wife (diabetic and 5 weeks pregnant!) had an episode and had to come find me while low on blood sugar. She's fine now but a bit of a scare there!

    Well, at least it happened during samu...I'm going to assume that counts.

    Gassho,
    Scott

    Jundo,
    I am joining you all Saturday evening US time. I am back home from business travel. I will sit through the winter night here in Maine, in fellowship with you all.

    Thank you for leading the way, and Jundo, Thank you for all the preparation you have done.

    Gassho,
    Alex

    Vocabulary is amazing isn't it? How we share the meaning of words and pronounciation, although we've never met.

    Thank you for the Fukanzazengi reading.

    Why take delight in a spark from a flint stone, when the whole of it is right here.

    Yes, we must sit with pain sometimes. But, also, our Way is not to punish the body.

    Although you should not give up and give in too easily, ours is not a way of self punishment. If sitting in one position too long is difficult, change position freely (e.g., move from Lotus, to Burmese to even a chair ... maybe not recline, as it is too easy to fall asleep). Walk lots of Kinhin, even if during a Zazen period. We will be sitting lots and lots of Zazen ... take it easy.

    Even if you are sitting with good posture, sitting long hours can cause the back and legs to start hurting. It is normal.

    Gassho, J

    Hi Jundo...

    I don't know, but after sitting several time, I feel a little pain on my back...
    was my posture wrong? or it's just normal?

    But any way, from this pain we can also learn that this body is impermanent. :wink:
