    This was my first four-hour Zazenkai. I am very grateful for this. Thank you.

    It started at 6 am for me, and I had traffic in and out of the room, so I participated one-way.

    It was extra special that the theme today was Buddha's birthday. Shokai's talk was informative and I especially appreciated the discussion of fasting with the precepts. I am in the right place; among skeptics who can look at religious literature with critical thinking as well as due appreciation.

    Thank you, Jundo, and all who help to make this happen.

        Sat/sitting in sections with youtube today; is that all right, to break it up like that? Am using the hut for this and while it has wifi it is currently off-grid (there was a flood) and this old laptop battery does not last 4 hours. I come in, have a meal while it is charging, then go back out. Just finished the talk; thank you Shokai. _()_

          If you need to break it up, fine to break it up!

          You were sitting with us today, right in the corner of the Zendo.

              Found a long enough stretch of time and sat with everyone today! Thank you Shokai for the excellent talk. I enjoyed hearing your take on the different stories about Buddha's birth.

                            Hi everyone,

                            My apologies again for the delay with podcast episodes. Here is Shokai's Vesak talk from the May Zazenkai:
                            Today's Talk is by Rev. Shokai, who will speaks on Vesak and the Buddha's Birthday. Further reading and discussion for this talk are available on the Treeleaf forum:May 3rd-4th, 2019 - OUR MONTHLY 4-hour Treeleaf ZAZENKAI! - featuring Shokai! »
