I find Zoom preferable and it worked well for the nine-year-old laptop camera; thank you everyone and especially for the very heartfelt metta chant. _()_

I found the gallery option useful; It might help Jundo see the rest of us better, though I suppose it would have to be on a separate screen from the one doing Youtube? And: hoping we'll move Treeleaf Now to Zoom? It seems to run fine on older phones and tablets, and for some that would be a feature.

Kim,

You're welcome to do two-way, the audience is muted so noisy background doessnt matter.

Thank you, Shoka. Maybe I'll try that next time. Didn't see your response until late, but was too tired to answer then.

Thank you everyone!
The video and sound quality seems to have improved...

Gassho,
Kotei sat/lah today.

[Seishin]

Agree with Kotei, crystal clear and great audio. Guess this will also impact Now at some stage in the future but we still seem to be ticking along in the FSR for now. Thanks peeps.

Hi All,
Summer hols being now officially over and kids back at school I was finally able to sit with you all today-good times!
Jundo, I hope the roly-poly bug made it. Could you maybe perhaps say what kind of birds were chirping away in the background from time to time? They were joined here on a grey and windy morning by a chorus of crows, pigeons, a robin, a red kite and also some choppers from the base. Yup, we have one of those too...
Thanks to all,
Gassho

Oh, l should be more of a birder than l am. Your trained ear might spot those bird calls. The following are found in our area, Can you identify any of the call?

Beautiful haiku Mark. Thank you Jundo, it's nice to put "faces" to the sounds outside the Zendo during Zazenkai! I can remember how thrilled I was the first time I joined, hearing the sounds of birdsong on the other side of the world, singing "tomorrow morning."
