      Hi all

      I will not be joining you all live today as the 4 hour's will be interrupted by other worldly activity, and I would really like to sit the four hours in one sit if you get my drift. Seeing as time is a relative condition then I will take advantage of that relativity and sit with you all at 8pm NZ time as I know I can have four hours fully to dedicate to my practice, to the reflection required to begin my Ango commitment, and so I join with you all (and all Beings!) in the full spirit of this very special Zazenkai.

      Kia ora as we say down here, and my deepest bows of respect to you all, gassho

      Sat and LAH in the last 24

              I have a lot to learn; take anything I say that sounds like teaching with a grain of salt.

                Whee and off we go!! Thanks everyone!! Along with the theme of "falling down," if anyone wants a laugh, scroll back to when we sat down for the first Zazen. I fell off the Zafu! I was all discombobulated after rushing home from work to make it in time.

                May you all have an Ango full of peace and joy and the Hokey Pokey.

                Gassho,

                    Thank you, Jundo, for an excellent start to Ango. It was a pleasure to be online with everyone. Next time I will use my laptop with a camera!

                          Unfortunately I could not attend live. But I'm going to do the Zazenkai now.

                          Thank you for all the good work, Jundo!

                            Thanks to everyone for a great kickoff to ango. it was a little bleary eyed here in the uk, yet i'm glad i joined live. I was reduced to joining by phpne as my laptops camera is not recognised by google hangouts, hence why its so dark in my zendo on my conection. id love to chat to a 'techie' expert yo try to fix this at some time.

                            Anyway I digress,

                            many thanks to you all

                              Hello all,
                              I wasn't able to sit live, but I'm sitting with you all today. I just wanted to mention, that I've just Sat with the first half, outside on my porch. Jundo, as you were mentioning how you were admiring the rain, it started to rain here this morning. This is what I love about Treeleaf, we truly are beyond space and time. I'm sitting there with you in Japan while it is raining here outside my porch in the middle of Pennsylvania! Happy Ango to all...

                              Gassho,
