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:

I also recommend a little Talk on why small rituals and procedures are so cherished in the Zendo:

Hi all

I'm at work today so will not be able to attend live. Only 6 patients on our psychiatric ward that can accommodate 20, feels wrong to be underutilised but if it means less people are suffering in my community then that makes it a good thing right!

Be safe and well, enjoy getting together for zazenkai.

Gassho, Tokan (satlah)

[Kotei]

I followed along on You Tube, I didn’t join in the live stream as I was unwell and didn’t want to be a distraction with having to leave and come back etc., but it was wonderful to be with you all in the middle of the night ( here in Argyll, Scotland )

Thank you for this, I was sad I couldn’t attend as I was traveling to attend a funeral service in NY.
