PS - There is no "wrong" or "right" in Zazen ... yet here is a little explanation of the "right" times to Bow (A Koan) ...

The other video I mention on Zendo decorum is this one, from our "Always Beginners" video Series:

Good morning! I sat Zazenkai just now and Thank you all for sitting with me! Great talk Jundo! I’m a little into that “weird” stuff as you know!
Now I’m off to Maine to look for Bigfoot… or is it smallfoot?

Hi everyone I sat with you yesterday from the manifestation of today and it was joyous. Thanks Jundo for the chat, as anyone who knows me will attest it espoused one of my favourite aspects of the practice and indeed zen. So thank you once again.

Gassho,

Thank you for this week's teaching. I saw the recording. I couldn't do live as I was at a Herbie Hancock concert! The more I am doing Zazen during this Ango , the more experiential "knowing" there is. Teacher, your talks are guiding me to this.

Gassho,
