Jukai congratulations

Re: Jukai congratulations

The only thing I regret is that I was unable to join in and add my voice to that wonderful finale.

Hello Daiku, I saw you there, well at least I think it was you, and so heard you loud and clear as did everything esle.

With regards to the prisoners, are they able to view anything on treeleaf or are there restrictions to the internet?

Hi Undo,
Perhaps you saw me and I did not see you during the finale.

As for prisoners, there are plenty of computers in the education dept and in wing offices, but the ones the prisoners have access to cannot get on the internet. Of course those in the few open prisons can go to internet cafes outside. I may be able to record some talks and show them on video.

Jinho, you are right it did add something. Perhaps the sound echoing around the universe.

One little point was that I could not find a leaf from a tree in my garden so I took a twig from a little willow tree where a Buddha statue stands underneath. The twig had several buds just beginning to burst out.

Hi Daiku,

I saw and heard you perfectly. I am sure that Buddha, and Kannon with her 1000 ears, heard you too.

The twig was good too.

Gassho, Jundo

Re: Jukai congratulations

Congratulations to you all and to Jundo and Mina for taming the technology and making the world-first event happen. UStream reported up to 46 viewers and I could see Mina's hands working diligently to keep the two laptop screens functioning. Rev Taigu appeared as a shadowy figure (because of the screen angle) and I notice he has no avatar so for me he remains shadowy. [edit]

I watched the live broadcast (2am local time) and it was excellent. I felt that the touching of the leaf to the screen seemed to make a real connection between Jundo and the viewer.

best wishes,

Re: Jukai congratulations

Congratulations and thanks to everyone!!

Very moving event, I got a little teary eyed at one point during the prostrations after we recieved the Precepts, it felt very monumental . . . like, "wow, this is it no going back now"

Of course each day and event will be a test and a new opportunity to practice at the whetstone.

Already, gettting an opportunity today -- major family strife/conflict going on --- We'll see how well a job Shinko actually does at Prudent-Calm.


Gassho,
