[IanSmith]

Many thanks Kotei and Bion for allowing me to "throw myself" into today's Zazenkai. Another wonderful start to the week. Thank you every one for your practice.

Thank you for this morning's Zazenkai, everyone and thank you Kotei for leading it. I'm most definitely taking with me the line "You don't practice for the person you want to be, but for the person you are". It makes me think of an old bodhisattva Sutra, where the Buddha says " it is the ordinary person that needs to be protected and not the Arhat"... It is not when we've solved all issues that we practice freely, but right now, as "this person", with all our shortcomings and struggles that we seek refuge in wholehearted practice-enlightenment.
Have a wonderful Sunday, hope to see you for Fusastu later!

Thank you all, for once again participating in the weekly zazenkai. Practicing together is really a wonderful opportunity. Thank you also for having my back as I attempted this solo service!

Thank you Kotei for your words about TS. Hearing them (along with Jundo's invocation) drove home Issa's lament.

This dewdrop world -
Is a dewdrop world, and yet,
and yet...
