Yes indeed, Thank you Jundo, Taigu, the cat and everyone who was present ... and not present today, a wonderful close of Ango.
Deep bow to all,

Ohh that crazy Tin Tin. At one point one of my kitties was trying to talk to him through the door. Made me laugh. The first night my wife thought one of our cats got shut in her bedroom.

Due to sleepiness and technological woes I missed the last 3 hours or so.*sigh* Will check out the vids over the next few days.

I'll second that...not sure who's voice is the most hoarse: Jundo, Taigu, or Tin Tin.

Thank you so much Jundo & Taigu for the excellent retreat.. even with my WIFI issues. I wish you both a speedy recovery from your colds!

Not planned was:
getting asked to start a job the day after I interviewed...
having to borrow WIFI to attend.

Master Tin Tin is a hit with both my cats. They did not understand that Oryoki meant that they were not to eat off my little table. I suspect I also ate a little cat hair.. I've been coughing up hairballs!

Hello all,

Thanks indeed to Jundo and Taigu! Hope you are both feeling better. I did a combo of recorded and live…finished tonight (Sunday). It was a nice break chatting with Linda, Dosho, Luis, and Shohei. I was greatly encouraged by ZenDave as every time I turned on my web cam I saw him slogging away in the Zen Hall….my web cam kept giving my problems so I eventually turned it off. I will write more about the experience when I have time.

Gassho,

Re: Retreat was awesome

Gassho to all!

Tintin is a very good example of how you really want to practice and get into the Zendo!
It was truly wonderful to sit with all of you.
Off to Osaka again today, busy Tokyo, Shinkansen...
I will soon post vids about sitting, some directions as to how to sit and what to inhibit when sitting.

Take great care

Re: Retreat was awesome

What a wonderful experience. This retreat was "perfectly imperfect" as our two teachers said, and at times a little painful. I kept moving from zafu to chair and back and forth when I needed to. Sorry for all the noise Jundo!!!! It was great to just sit and to know that so many of you were doing the same, and perhaps even at the same moments that I was; although that reallt didn't matter. I totally forgot I was on the recordings until Jundo reminded me to go to the next recording.

I had only one glitch and that was right at the beginning. On Saturday morning no matter how I tried when I clicked on the first recorded entry for that day, I was sent to the Samu recording for Saturday, when Taigu first arrived. I tried four or five times and then just gave up and stared the Retreat with the second unit. All the rest worked fine.

For Jukai I will have my web-cam installed and go live...whatever time it is!!!

Thanks Jundo and Taigu, or the Whisperin' Wiseguys, as they came to be as the weekend progressed. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

Gassho,

Denis

Re: Retreat was awesome

I think all the mistakes were wonderful ! Made me smile and added a relaxing tone.

And Taigu, the chanting was amazing.

Thank you for pointing this out, Denis. I fixed the link.

And you and everyone for sitting together yesterday. Gassho, J
