It is Vital to Hear Your Story: Turned from Considering Priesthood by Health/Age?

[Jundo]

To be honest I know what I want to say. It’s getting it said.

I have never been discriminated for trying to be a priest because I wasn't even allowed to sit on a chair and practice as a lay follower to begin with. It was either on a zazen cushion or it wasn't considered zazen. Fortunately, a place such as Treeleaf exists. Thank you Jundo

Never discriminated sitting on a 4 legged straight back chair. My sitting time is limited at 70. Before Treeleaf I meditated with a Theravada group. Then a group at our U U church, CDs of Kornfield, PhD. advised some folks sit on a chair. Perhaps some traditional older Zen believe lotus necessary. In my experience chairs are okay. Please look at Thich Nhat Hanh.
