My Zazen Challenge

[Jigetsu]

Like everyone, sometimes I develop a bad habit of not sitting. I've decided that instead of looking for excuses I am instead going to make a commitment, a vow (to myself and to all beings) to sit every day for one entire year. Rain or shine, healthy or sick, I can sit Zazen for at the very least 10 minutes a day. Thanks to Jundo I even know how to sit in the event I catch the flu!

I'll update every so often so that I might be held accountable by the sangha and of course if anyone wants to take this challenge with me, I'd welcome the company.

Re: My Zazen Challenge

Sounds like reasonable goal(goalless goal that is :wink: ) to me! Will you be sitting on G+ so others can join in your sits?

Awesome! I'll join you guys on G+ when I can. I'm in the eastern timezone.

Re: My Zazen Challenge

Funny, I was just thinking about doing something similar, as in the past couple of weeks with illness and other craziness, I've really been practicing poorly.

I'm game.

When are you officially starting?

Re: My Zazen Challenge

I planned on officially starting this evening! No time like the present. In so far as G+, I'd love to once I figure out how to use it.

Re: My Zazen Challenge

Cool, well, maybe we should post daily. Only takes 10 seconds to post a quick message saying "Day X: Sat!"

Re: My Zazen Challenge

It was on my mind to post after my sit. Just that I sat and not the duration, it's not a competition. I'm game to do that!

Re: My Zazen Challenge

good idea; ok I'm sitting right now i missed the morning due to a hectic work day.
