Have a good Ango everyone!

I sat with you all via recording.
Not sure why I was so looking forward to Ango starting, since it means no chocolate for three months.
PS Game of Thrones -> Game of Zafus - ok but "sitting the Iron Zafu" doesn't sound that fun.

Really appreciated Kyonin's comments and experiences about mistakes in Ango helping our practice grow.

I have been waiting to take Jukai for a few years now but unable to do so because I was turned away by other zendos because I could not be there in person. I live in a rural area, I have a laypersons life and responsibilities to my family at home. I am so grateful for Jundo and Treeleaf for including me in Jukai and Ango. I love that we are all over the world, together.

Bingo Bango Ango!

Thank you all! Happy Ango!

Edit: I love this practice. At the same time I kept thinking, is this ZAZENKAI over already. hahahahah Then I'd laugh at myself and continue. I'm the King Bodhisattva of Complaining lol

Jundo - I always love when you talk about Dogen's chapter on Ango, and when you shared your discovery of Manjushri's practicing in the three places relating to practicing with greed, anger and ignorance. It was an "ahhhh" moment for sure.

For the young folks . . . reference @ 2:13:59

(Yeah . . . I may be a super fan of a little radio show called Crap from the Past)

Happy first day of Ango to everyone! Feels like it's gonna be a good one.

P.S. The floats near the end of that Bon Festival video!!!

Oh that song Jundo was referring to Ooga Chaka or whatever it just occurred to me how perfect the lyric is for Ango and Zen and suffering: “I .... I ... I ... I’m hooked on a feeling”

I am a little frustrated due to now being scheduled to do all of our dog grooming van laundry on Zazenkai evenings... I am going to try and shift it to another day of the week, but as of right now, it will be difficult to move... juggling two jobs if hard!!! But many have it much worse...

I will be catching up with this Zazenkai over the weekend.

Thank you all, and I apologize for not being on the "Hollywood Squares" live

For us youngins, Blue Swede's Hooked on a Feeling is immediately recognizable from its feature in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, which is where I remember it from.

Dog grooming is grooming Buddha, is Ango. So, not being frustrated is Ango, the laundry of the mind (they even had monks who had to wash the sheets at Eiheiji). Please sit Zazenkai somewhere in the open, clear blue sky between the two jobs.

Please be inspired by Buddha-poodle ...
