[Guest]

Hi

We Tenryuji have 7days Sesshin at everytime.

I do Doan(hit bell and leading rhythm)Ino(Chanting Eko How to say in English..)
And Jikido time keeper and also leading mealtime Ino.

Everybody start sit 2AM but I wake up 1:30AM and ready to Shinrei(wake up bell and
changing water for Shoso and clean up at dark night)
And sleep 10PM after finish to prepare next day.

Soooo hard,,

but I do my best.

Little bit different style but like this,,(we chant)

I hope I will finish at 25th Midnight 1AM(over night Zazen)

Sounds pretty tough! But I see it suits you well and you enjoy it.
Oh, I believe ekō is the dedication of merit, whether abbreviated, universal, specific…
Thank you for always sharing your training with us!

Just a note that Kakunen will be joining us in Tsukuba for the 4-hour Zazenkai on April 1 (NO APRIL FOOLS! )

I asked him to give us a talk about surprising things, or things that many people may not know or understand, about Soto Zen monastic training.
