Byokan..

I FINALLY figured it out this afternoon. It's my iPad not having sufficient memory.

I used my Smart Phone and got right in!

Hope for continued good technical luck!

Wahoo!
Gassho Y'all

Dear Sangha,

I'm looking forward to posting about how my own ango and Rohatsu is going, there are unexpected frustrations and welcome temptations in this sesshin. My wife came home from a bake sale, then attempted to feed me cookies while I was sitting in zazen. For most of the day, there is noble silence, when she gets home from work we have to communicate in pictionary-ese. It's a small apartment, so it's impossible to avoid each other. The noble silence has reminded us there is more than one form of communication which deepened our connection.

I'm having difficulty keeping on schedule, also with muscle pain in the ankle and leg. When I was young, two local bullies pushed me down in a skating rink. The attack altered the position of my foot. When I sit zazen for long periods I have to stop and rest my ankle. If anyone could suggest accommodations or instructions for building up to lotus, I would be most grateful.

I have also disocvered how oblivious I was to how to access the live hangout links, I've been searching for them! D'oh! Oh well, I've been inspired to learn more about koans, as my grandma says "knowledge is never hard to carry around". As an active job seeker, I've come up with the concept of a spiritual resume. Perhaps, in order to be an entry-level Zen student, layperson, one must have experience answering koans? I chide, hm, maybe not? Gassho.

So it's pie! I kind of remembered it was something to do with food. Pie! LOL

Thank you, Jundo, and everyone who made this Rohatsu possible. I learned from each of the talks, and it was wonderful to practice with everyone who practiced with this and who will practice with this.
