The recording of this month's Zazenkai is missing the first half - it starts in the middle of the Dharma Talk.
I was looking forward to this one because of Ango. But in the spirit of Treeleaf I will adapt and make it work the best I can.
I will still sit this Zazenkai in spirit - rewatching the start of last month's monthly Zazenkai for the ceremonial part. Then I will do Zazen and Kinhin on my own up to the Dharma talk and then continue with the last half of the actual Ango kick off Zazenkai video knowing I sat with you all the full time.

Oops, looks like someone was not aware of the two-hour retained recording limit on Zoom. The recording picks up exactly two hours from the end. Was it by chance recorded in another fashion that could be uploaded? In any case, I am grateful to be here with you all.

Thanks for today comrades but apologies for leaving after the Tsukuba Bon Dance, I should've stretched first lol. No, my back told me that I'd had enough and I listened but Dani was a wonderful teacher. What a fantastic way to start my first Ango. Thank you all again.

No, it is all there now. Sometimes it takes awhile for the video to finish processing, so you and Keving must have caught it before it was done.

Hey Nengei! Try watching it now!

Splendid! I just finished the middle and end. Now it is time to sleep. Tomorrow I will sit again with you all for the beginning.

Watched it live one way, a wonderful start to Ango. Joined in late. For most of it I didn't see anything due to my slow connection, but I heard the talk and people's comments just fine. Skipped the dance (can't follow along without video) and took a break and walked around a bit instead. In one of the transitions I answered some messages on my phone. Stumbled my way through it to the end though! Fell many times, got back up each time until the final gassho. When we got the the metta chant I realized I'd not made it that far in the 4 hour zazenkai since last Ango!

Some of my commitments from last Ango became habits that are still with me - I hope that this Ango will create some additional habits and they will keep adding together over the years.

Sat with you all

[Gukan]

Thank you all. I made a brief appearance two-way but had some volume issues (i.e. for some reason Zoom was really loud despite my frantic prodding of the laptop volume settings, which claimed it was really quiet) and was about to wake the whole house up, so I reverted to live one-way for the first hour and will catch up later today. Will look at my volume settings later as well.

Wishing you all a good start to Ango

Gassho,
Libby

[Horin]

That's great, I will sit tomorrow evening with you via youtube.

Thank you everyone. I am quite sure that Mahakasyapa would be shocked.... shocked I say to see that we are doing our Ango in a Dance Hall of all places! Have a good Ango everyone!

ln my talk today, l mention that l am still watching the last two episodes of "Game of Thrones." (Please don't tell me how it ends!)

l just want to say that Game of Thrones is Greed, Anger and Divided thinking personified! lt is even about "life vs. DEATH" quite literally!

What would Game of Thrones be if all those folks suddenly became Buddhists!?

Game of Zafus!

Don’t think the ratings would be as good.
