[Jundo]

Grace, without whom this week would not have be possible, asked me for some final words to close the last sitting of the last day.

I refuse.

There is no "final" on this, no beginning nor end. Each sitting is precious and contains all. As Old Dogen might say, each sitting holds all sittings, holds its own dharma position and all of us. No fireworks are need, no closing ceremony, no speeches.

I can only point everyone to what Uchiyama Roshi wrote in our readings this week ...

"Sit silently for ten years, then for ten more years, and then for another ten years."

Nine Bows to All,

Jundo

Dear Treeleaf, this has been a wonderful zazenathon. Many thanks to Jundo for the ten years of teachings, hard work and forum moderation! And a big thank you to Grace who has been a marvel in organising this. I am grateful for being part of this sangha and for rediscovering Insight timer again! Always good to see a treeleafer sitting with me. Even better that I can hide the sit counter!
Gassho to all
