Re: Jukai

Congrats. How did it go.

Was it a retreat where you slept overnight and practiced through the day or do you come to the priory each morning.

Re: Jukai

Thanks for all the encouragement and kind comments. I have sat 5 day sesshins in the past (this was fully ressidential, starting at 6.20 am to 9pm) - but I was a bit anxious about the accessibility of the old priory this one was held in, since I am in a wheelchair. I took to heart this teaching from a John Tarrant teisho on a koan:

It’s so obvious, once you know the trick. If you walk up to a cliff, a door will appear. The obstacle is itself the gate. This only happens if I’m willing to keep walking. Each wall is a large, rather smooth, dark expanse and I keep walking toward it without knowing what will happen and then a doorway appears
