Re: HAPPY JUKAI!!!!

May I ask a small favor of the Jukai-ees?

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.

Re: HAPPY JUKAI!!!!

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?
