Thank you for the Zazenkai, I sat with you all this morning.

I heard my daughter stir at one point and I thought I was going to have to cut short but thankfully she went back to sleep.

I thought I noticed a small person join you at one point in the video.

Mine insists on cartoons and to sit on my shoulders, maybe this is the next phase of my Shikantaza practice - to sit with Paw Patrol and a small person on my shoulders.

This time she came to say that the goldfish had died. We had a small Heart Sutra service after the Zazenkai.

Hey Victor! Welcome to our Zazenkai, where we dance the hoki poki sometimes and have feelings of interconnectedness. Yes, the Zazenkai is hard, yeah? Aight. You deserve an ole' pat on the back for trying. You must feel very proud of yourself for trying something that is difficult. Like starting all new things (playing guitar, starting a relationship, learning a new job, etc) it takes time. You might've heard the saying that goes "the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step". The benefit of doing Zazenkai is you have a support system, like a workout partner, try not to imagine Buddha in workout clothing. We are there for you, all of us encourage each other. Also, a great exercise strategy is encouraging others and being a team.

Guys.......

I found a new lunch time gatha...

Sat 'with you all' on Sunday morning. Sorry for not thanking you earlier.
Sorry to hear about the loss of the goldfishes. But I am grateful for the spirit of allowing Jundo Sensei's daughter in the zendo (Metta to her and the fishes). To actually experience that practice is not separate from our normal lives - wonderful!

Currently I am sneezing and coughing constantly (feverish cold) - maybe I will be saving up the 4hour zazenkai coming next weekend till I can recite without sneezing on my chantbook.
