Up here, it will be another 4 months until I can put seeds in the ground ... sigh

Nindo!

I didn't notice you were going to take such a long break from Treeleaf !

Please, everyone, fertilize the tomatoes when it is their time, and ...uhm, well, do something good for the sangha. Samu, too?
Ignore yours subscribed, who needs a lot of manure to grow

Thank you, Shingen. I just saw this post now, and it was perfect timing as I thought earlier today I want to start focusing on my job/work/life as samu and not separate from my zazen practice.

Gassho,

Hi Danny,
there are many kinds of seeds, but you cannot eat painted rice cakes.
A hoe is a hoe, a snow shovel is a snow shovel.

A hoe is a hoe, a snow shovel is a snow shovel.

My apologies, I'm sorry. After all, you used to answere my question what "samu" means.
Sometimes I'd like to have a garden too.

Gassho,
Danny

Hello,

Thank you for the link. (Couldn't find the browser to watch it.)

An expert at nothing Zen: but a body language amateur, the video showed a stressed individual ( squeezing tool, arranging clothing [hat in hand],checking time, trying to end conversation, acting relaxed, etc.). Curious if he knew death was imminent.

Hey Nindo,

What if the whole wide world is a painted rice cake?

Gassho, Jishin, _/st\_

[Nindo]

Ah Jishin, I was just waiting for you to step on the hoe and have it hit you on the nose. Bang!

No eyes, ear, tongue and nose to get hit by the hoe!

I think most of us are uncomfortable in front of a camera; why should a Zen priest/ abbot be any different?
