    Thanks you for the zazenkai, this recording is very much appreciated.
    If I can ask, what is this hokey-pokey ritual?

      The Hokey Pokey (called Hokey Cokey in some parts of the world) is a silly dance done at wedding receptions and kids birthday parties. We added it to our Zazenkai to follow right after my too serious "Dharma Talks" so we remember not to take ourselves too seriously ... and also to stretch the legs and body after long sitting.

      But, this is how "Traditions" are born ... and I predict that, in 1000 years, the Hokey Pokey will be considered an ancient and precious part of Buddhist Practice from Texas to Thailand to Tibet!

                Sekishi and I had a long talk about the sound quality of this week's Australian Hokey Pokey. We have no explanation why the sound was as it was. I suggest to just stick out random limbs if not sure what they are saying.

                  Haha that’s exactly what everyone did I think. Also the “turn yourself around” part is pretty recognizable no matter what [emoji1]

                    The Iowa City virtual ango just ended yesterday, so I am sitting with you today. No question, just Genjo koan. Thank you, Treeleaf.
