Thank you, Jundo.
It's been only recently that I've got accustomed to the 4 hour zazenkais and this one will be a bit
of challenge to me. That's why I'm looking forward to participate in the retreat the fullest possible.
I intend to sit in combination "live" and the recordings though.

Hi Rodney,

Well, you would not wear the Rakusu this time as you actually have not received it yet.

See you there.

I have previously taken precepts years ago in the Kwan Um School of Zen and still wear mine when I go to my local temple (which is Korean but not Kwan Um School). It's it OK for me to wear here?

May I ask a question about scheduling?

I can sit on the Saturday while my children are at their dad's but have nobody to help me with them on Sunday. I welcome the idea of making parenting part of our work period but realistically doubt I'll get any sitting done at all with them around. Would it be preferable to sit Saturday (live) and Monday (with recording)? Or to move the whole retreat to a later date when I can sit the two together? Or just sit Saturday and then treat Sunday as almost entirely samu?

Thank you.

Ah, thanks, Sergey. I was starting to think I was the only one that wasn't thinking this would be a breeze! I too intend to try to participate to the fullest! I can just imagine how my brain is going to be screaming at me all weekend to be doing other things rather than sitting facing the wall. It will be much-needed practice, for sure.

Of course.

I look forward to this very much. I will be traveling by train that weekend, and will sit in honor of Rohatsu, during the journey, and then dedicate a subsequent weekend to the full two-day retreat.

Konan--yes, cleaning the kitchen floor, especially the corners and the edges where it meets the wall and cabinets. The mind is full of stale crumbs and old thoughts.

Hi Libby,

Either way is fine, so long as you make the say with your kids on Sunday the "third day" of the Retreat. Understand? It is not an interruption of the Retreat in any way, just a continuation.

Yes, the "little self" does not want to sit "doing nothing" ...

... which is why this is so important, when when the preciousness of "Just Sitting" is truly tasted, is "Doing Everything" with the "little self" out of a job!

Thank you Jundo.

Looking forward to it. I haven't had a retreat since a weekend in March. However, I will shift to December 17 & 18 due to my musical commitments at Rohatsu. If anybody else would like to join then, you are welcome!
