      Hello,

      Thank you.

      And maybe 'consciousness' is striking what is keeping you "awake".^^

      Brilliant.

          Ha!

          You see how we sit on raised platforms in Japan, usually facing toward the wall?



          I once, about 25 years ago, fell asleep and did a reverse gainer dive backwards, narrowly missing cracking my skull on the tile ground. I think I did a complete flip! I was also most embarrassed!

          But I have to hand it to the Japanese: The other folks kept sitting as if nothing had happened! I just got back onto the Zafu, and went from there.

          Gassho, J

            LOL ... I was going to say, glad the wall is there for us Soto folks. But looks like you can still do the backward triple lindy like Jundo described. =)

              Please take my words with a big grain of salt. I know nothing. Wisdom is only found in our whole-hearted practice together.

                      This is a feeling I understand all too well!


                      Gassho,

                      Heion
                      Look upon the world as a bubble,
                      regard it as a mirage;
                      who thus perceives the world,
                      him Mara, the king of death, does not see.
