My Zazen Challenge

Re: My Zazen Challenge

Hi all,

When I first read through this thread I was thinking of folks like me who sometimes turn sitting everyday into pressure. But then I read Risho's post and decided to jump in because I want to support what you guys are doing. And I actually encourage those closet perfectionists like me to join in too...it's ok to "fail" and you are no less dedicated...I think this thread can be for us too. Unless anyone objects, I/we are in!

Gassho,

I've lost count. lol. But I'm consistent. I'm happy for this thread; sometimes I feel bad for missing zazaen. It's nice to have us all supporting each others practice.

I'll play too.

Sat this morning and will sit this evening. 1/365.

ps. are people going to post everyday? 2/365, 3/365? Wouldn't the thread begin to get a little unweildy? Perhaps just weekly updates? I guess it doesn't matter.

That's a fine question I'd leave for the mods.

I like a quote from a Joh Kabbat Zinn book; he says "You don't have to enjoy it, you just have to do it!"

It's one of those simple, not easy things. :mrgreen:

Re: My Zazen Challenge

Yep - I can be really inconsistent. Let's all encourage eachother.

Will probably leave a note when I'm not managing

Re: My Zazen Challenge

Unwieldy how? Not like it's a deep discussion! Anyone not participating can ignore the thread anyway. I post every day, if nothing else to keep myself honest.

Keep er going!

Not a matter ultimately of "long or short" ... and even one moment's sitting holds all time and space ... one day manifests every day, and there's nothing to achieve (thus we diligently sit each day, gaining non-gaining!) ...

... but no limit on how long this thread either! Plenty of bandwidth. 8)

Re: My Zazen Challenge

Tuesday 4/365 - Sitting in the mornings for 15' to start the day.... I'd like to build that habit. Sitting 30' in the evening on G+... I find the company and support very helpful and invigorating to practice. It's nice to know there are friends out there to sit with.
