Re: My Zazen Challenge

Ya know ...

really ... each and every sitting is also and always 1/1. Always will be too, no matter how many.

So, let's all not be too much into counting and keeping score even as the days pass.

Gassho, Jundo

I have begun to feel this way as the days have passed even though it has helped me get to the cushion during a tough time, but I did want to offer support to those sitting. However, you are quite right, there is really no reason to keep score and unintentionally cling to those numbers.

Thanks Jundo. I purposely avoided this challenge because I know my personality all too well. Glad to see all who are sitting but I know my goal-oriented mind and it would have been a hang-up for me...maybe I should sit with that. :roll:

Gassho,

Dokan

I agree with Dokan I'd probably be the same. I'd be sitting for the challenge rather than sitting just for sitting, I had a similar issue when I starting using insight timer.

Re: My Zazen Challenge

I just looked back and realized I posted "10/365" twice on consecutive days and then 12/365 two days later. So, I'm not sure how many days I've done and instead of spending any time figuring that out, I'm going to go sit.

12/365

Sat the zazenkai yesterday, sat just 5 minutes today...but I know that if it hadn't been for your challenge Jigetsu, I would not have sat at all today. I was tired, headache, nasty sunburn, excuse #4, excuse #5, etc., etc. 5 minutes? Can I do that?

Yes, of course I can...thank you all.
