Gassho, Dojin.
I gained nothing at all from supreme enlightenment, and for that very reason it is called supreme enlightenment

Thank you so much Jundo and Taigu! It was a was a moving such a moving ceremony! My webcam kept booting me out the the Zen Hall, but just went with it. Congratulation to all who participated!
Might you post your brief comment or impression of the experience over at the Shambhala blog? It might help some people who are unfamiliar with what it was about understand a bit more. Just a few brief words would be nice.
Although I was not a participant, I watched later online. I was very impressed by a number of things:
1) the flexibility demonstrated with calmness when sound difficulties presented its ugly head
2) the fact that one person (Dojin), caught "by circumstance" was ready and willing to stand up and be the voice of of those who could not speak
3) the fact that Jundo turned into a juggler with multiple cameras and laptops - I wonder: can this be done next year on a unicycle?
