Re: My Zazen Challenge

3/0/365 done! Interesting sit tonight. My dog, Captain Nemo, decided to come sit in front of me for a while. He stuck his nose right in the middle of the cosmic mudra and insisted I pet him for a few minutes. :lol:

Re: My Zazen Challenge

Myozan suggested I post this here to add to the incentive on this thread. This was taken yesterday when our little group suddenly grew to six sitters. Peter and I have been sitting together @ 5:30am EST for over a year now. We started in the sitting room and went thru some tough times when Mebeam started turfing out Mac users this time last year. Google + has been a godsend (that is provided there is/are a god( :shock: ) and the intensity of Ango partnership steeled our resolve to sit everyday.



Myozan, Ray, Marek and Gary (sometimes Chris, Ann and Nigel) joined us on a regular basis somewhere along the way and then Jodi dropped in. This is particularly encouraging because she gets herself up one hour earlier in Central time !! (I think Dokan even tried that early hour on a couple of occasions) And, now we have this warm fellowship and we do what we can to nurture it. So, what's next, you say :lol: :lol:
Well, the challenge would appear to be that we push the max 10 of Google+ hangouts; waiting for the day when something even more powerful can be embedded into the TreeLeaf site. Always pushing forward and upward; not very zen of us is it Jundo :roll:
So, please, if youcan, we'd love to have you join us

p.s. If anyone is wondering why i'm facing the camera, I was doing the screen capture thing at the time

Re: My Zazen Challenge

Shokai - excellent - must try and sort out google + - though the time zones are probably not OK.
Also - I'm a complete fidget - everyone else looks so Zen like ops:

Anyway day 4/365 and have been sitting thru toothache and a macarbre extraction without proper pain relief that's gone all wrong :shock:

Re: My Zazen Challenge

Metta to you Willow, tooth things are not nice. We should have them all pulled out when we're born. Same as the appendix; now there's a nasty add-on don't you think? :lol:
Take care, carry on and
Thank you for your practice

p.s. That's 9:30 or 10:30 in the morning your time, you and Gary must be in the same zone

Re: My Zazen Challenge

4/0/365 done at Manhattan Chogyesa Zen Temple. 2 x 30 minutes with walking in between. I told my teacher, Do Am Sunim about the challenge and he said "Things change in life, every day and every moment. It is good to have something like this with you every day if it motivates your practice."

Re: My Zazen Challenge

I've missed posting on here (I knew I would, and only my third day in(summer is absolutely away from computer time for me since I'm a teacher)), but I've sat twice a day, morning and evening: 5/0/365. Also, since next week is my last week of semester and grades must be in, I'll be able to sit my first zazenkai (!), though I won't be able to sit live.

Hope everyone's practice is going wonderfully even if it's going suckily.

Gassho,
Alan
