Hi Jundo.

I'll be there, but please add me to the Stand By list. If there is a seat, I'll take it most likely in audio only.

I still have over an hour of work left before I can leave. Please give my seat to one of the standbys. I will join when I get home if there is room, if not.. I'm still there one way.

I have to put in a full day's work tomorrow (financial necessity), so please allow someone else to take my spot. It sounds like it will be wonderful.

Roger that, you are moved to "standby" on the bench and Dosho takes your spot at third base.

This is like a baseball roster.

Mary has asked me to post the reading from Master Dogen below, and that you read it before the Zazenkai ...

The reading for this Zazenkai:

Shobogenzo EIHEI KOSO HOTSUGANMON by Dogen Zenji

We vow with all beings, from this life on throughout countless lives, to hear the true
dharma; that upon hearing it, no doubt will arise in us, nor will we lack in faith; that
upon meeting it, we shall renounce worldly affairs and maintain the buddha-dharma;
and that in doing so, the great earth and all living beings together will attain the
buddha way.

Although our past evil karma has greatly accumulated, indeed being the cause
and condition of obstacles in practicing the way, may all buddhas and ancestors who
have attained the buddha way be compassionate to us and free us from karmic effects,
allowing us to practice the way without hindrance.

May they share with us their compassion, which fills the boundless
universe with the virtue of their enlightenment and teachings. buddhas and ancestors
of old were as we; we in the future shall be buddhas and ancestors. Revering buddhas
and ancestors, we are one buddha and one ancestor; awakening bodhi-mind, we are
one bodhi-mind. Because they extend their compassion to us freely and without limit,
we are able to attain buddhahood and let go of the attainment. Therefore, the Chan

Master Lung-ya said:
Those who in past lives were not enlightened will now be enlightened.
In this life, save the body which is the fruit of many lives.
Before buddhas were enlightened, they were the same as we.
Enlightened people of today are exactly as those of old.

Quietly explore the farthest reaches of these causes and conditions, as this
practice is the exact transmission of a verified buddha. Confessing and repenting in
this way, one never fails to receive profound help from all buddhas and ancestors. By
revealing and disclosing our lack of faith and practice before the buddha, we melt
away the root of transgressions by the power of our confession and repentance. This is
the pure and simple color of true practice, of the true mind of faith, of the true body of
faith.

Jundo,

Having to go into work.. Likely for the majority of the day, please replace me on the list. I apologize for all the wishy washiness on this. Such is life.

Gassho,
Brooks hasn't sat yet today.

[Jundo]

Just a note that the hangout will be open about 15 minutes after the hour. Invitation will be resent then.

Come on in when you can.

Gassho, Jundo
