      That was lovely. I enjoyed seeing the snow in your yard, Jundo!

        Thank you for including the absent love ones!

        For me departures and beginnings blended into one during this Zazenkai:
        With the help of my wife (who is not religious) I had set up the altar for the Nehan-e, which I did on Saturday morning (German time ... but it really felt like sitting together with you). When I was ready to start the Youtube vid, I found the e-mail from Jundo, telling me that I was registered at Treeleaf. So actually my start as an active member of Treeleaf coincided with commemorating our departed. Truly a special sitting for me.

        I specially liked the part of "Grieving in the dream". I used to admonish myself for feeling the pain of grief, telling myself that as a Buddhist I should be beyond grieving ... it was really an eye opener to me, when Jundo spoke about Azuma Rôshi's grief.

        Gassho with gratitude
