Keep on sitting after sound of bell?

This has been a very helpful question, Timo. I wonder the same thing from time to time. I tend to make sure I sit until the last bell has finished it's entire chime and then a moment longer so, like others mentioned, to resist the rush of all the other directions I feel pulled.

Thank you Jundo for your teaching. I can never be told and reminded too many times how all of life is zazen.

Hi,
Lots of great responses here.

Also, doesn't the end bell signal the start of Zazen, too?

Very nice. I wrestled with the feeling of needing to cut my sit short, but dropped it. I just sit, if something comes up where I have to get up, I do just that without any attachment to it.

I sat past the bell,
Less tired grasping for learning, more refreshing spirit.

Mysterious. Just sit.
