I really have no words. Virtual hugs, high-fives, and gasshos all around.

Every one of you was in turn: grass, hut, and the person inside!

Deep bows,
Sekishi

P.S. now I’m going to go relax and take a bath. The forum should be back online afterwards (say by 10:30 EST).

I enjoyed the cats, dogs (including mine) and horse that joined us. Not sure they were sitting or for that matter needed to!

Hi all,

The forum should be restored to usual working order.

There is more to that process than you might think, so if anyone has any trouble posting or viewing ("fresh weeds appear"!), please drop me a PM or respond here.

Gassho,

Thank you everyone everywhere.
The dedication to differently abled ancestors and the dedication to assigned female and female identifying ancestors almost brought me to tears.
The Dharma talks on such a beautiful poem over the two days filled out Fukanzazengi as read by Jundo in ways I didn't think were possible.
Thank you Treeleaf!
I had to get r e a l l y creative with my Shikantaza practice and how this Rohatsu was able to be completed but hey... I'm still here.
Below is what a LOT of my 'sitting' looked like when sitting was impossible, kinhin was too slow and painful and reclining positions were exhausted. It's a bit faster than kinhin but not as fast as regular walking.
Deep bows with the aid of a bamboo pole, thank you again.

Had to (literally) run out of the middle of the final zazen period because I heard my grandmother let the dog out of the front door! Sorry about that.

Thank you all for your practice.

Thank you everything! This is the first Zazenkai This very first Zazenkai in my friendship with Treeleaf Zendo in about three or two years? Since Jundo came to Omaha, NE USA when Jundo lead four of us in Zazenkai. I was able to fully make it through the outset! Then I listened to the first presentation from Sekieshi what a great expert for my zen practice. My Shikantaza experience will benefit for months and it's great to be aware of my practice of my Sangha!
