First time I've seen this thread. I'd like to take up the effort. Though I've been sitting every day since June 5, I will start with today. 1/365 Gassho. Richard

Hi all,

ok...sounds like you've gotten good at sitting everyday.

So, drop that attachment and see how long you can go without a sit!

Now, there's a challenge!

I agree, Myoku, it CAN be a good method...but as in all things, it can also go very BAD. Yes, try to sit everyday, but if you become too comfortable sitting...get up and do something else. If you find yourself trying to last as long as you can...get up and do something else. It is possible to get attached to anything, even sitting. If you are aware of your tendencies, it's great to keep it going as you say, but if you find yourself trying for a "streak" then go do some samu instead.

Just my humble unsui 2 cents, which is always to be taken with a grain of salt.

It has always been REALLY easy for me to pass on Zazen for more stimulating activities, so this challenge and Ango coming up in a couple of weeks are just what I need.
