May 18th-19th Treeleaf Weekly Zazenkai "THIS IS AMERICA"
I would not say This is America. It could easily be This is World.
Bowing with the gunshots was powerful and humbling. Here in Mexico we listen to that sound far more often than we'd like to and the dead are now in the hundreds of thousands. Metta for all the victims and makers of weapons.
I am sorry for the disconnection. Suddenly I couldn't hear anything even if I connected again. Will sit again this zazenkai tonight.
Thank you all. Really pleased to see 'This is America' as the Heart Sutra. I saw the video last week and thought it was incredible. Been a big fan of Donald Glover (Childish Gambino) since his 'Community' days so really glad to see his music career take off too.
Thanks for shedding light on the cat koan - I'd always found it really offputting, being a cat lover.
For those with access to BBC iPlayer there's a profile of Donald Glover here which I listened to on the journey back home from Wales yesterday, not knowing that he would be included in this week's zazenkai:
Thank you for the talk, Jundo.
Thank you everyone for sitting together
