Hi,
I'd love to book myself into a hotel with my robes, oryoki set, computer and WiFi access for the two days and sit live throughout the night.

Me too I will try to sit live as far as I can, looking forward to it. Thank you Sagha

Hiyas
Im going to do this one live, perhaps at the office as I can lock my self in for that time and the internet is a bit beefier than my home connection!

Hi all,

I am most likely going to sit the recorded version on Monday, Tuesday, Dec. 10 -11 th. I may have company that weekend. But I will be there regardless of date or time.

Looking forward to this.

Gassho,

Dharma-Santa paid a visit this time last year...

Re-watching the old video: Jundo, your enthusiasm always gives me a smile.

With the date change I now have a chance of participating during the live netcast! Might still have to do the recording, but at least now there is a chance.

Gassho,

Looking forward to sitting both live and recorded as life permits but mostly during the two weekends around the retreat.

Nenka, though there are oriyoki sets that fit the definition of the word, aren't they all "makeshift"?

Ha! Yeah. But every time I think about getting a "real" set, I realize that I'd miss my Pyrex bowl, grapefruit bowl (that looks like an actual grapefruit), condiment jar "tea cup", and pillow case. Robert Aitken once said something about using a bowl and wooden spoon as a "bell" when he first started out, and that always resonated with me: using what you have with sincerity. I just look forward to using this set with the annual retreat.

Thank you Nenka, I feel this is so important.
