and should be taken with a 'grain of salt'.
Thank you for the lovely talk, Jundo-Sensei. In relation to what you said about flowing, I've been trying out Vinyasa Flow Yoga. There is a yoga studio nearby where I live that does classes that end an hour before Zazenkai. I find it an excellent primer before beginning an endurance session of zazen. I told the teacher "now the easy part is over, I have to go do the hard part (sitting still)".
I wanted to mention an observation in my practice with Zazenkai. When we are listening to the chants that sets a mood for meditation. I feel my concentration strengthen when the Ino chants. What do experienced Zen practitioners call this phenomena?

PS - I had a bleeding nose at the end. I'm learning how to "flow" with these chronic nosebleeds.

It is called, "Groovin with the Ino" ... and ancient old practice.
If anyone is interested, I did do up some audio files awhile ago of chanting ... then yah can groove to the Ino day in and day out.
