Thank you Jundo, Kyonin, Sekishi and all. As always, I really appreciate the opportunity to practice together with such a large group of dedicated folks every week.
Just sat with you on demand! Thank you all for the opportunity to share this beautifully deep practice...which seems sometimes hot, sometimes cold, but which, in the end, is JUST THIS, beyond any particular perception or consideration and judgment.

We had some some strange technical "non-problem" today in which we could hear Kyonin's chants, but not most of the bells. So, when bowing, just follow along with everyone ... and all will be bowed.

The exact reason I missed the first bow [emoji1787] I couldn’t hear the bells. I was worried I wouldn’t hear it at the end of zazen either and I’d end up sitting there by myself unaware you were all moving on [emoji1787]

As for the bells, it sounds to me like feedback suppression is being invoked somewhere in the chain. Either Kyonin’s computer microphone or Zoom itself falsely identifying the bell as feedback. Notice it only was suppressed when there was no other sound. Not sure anything can be done about that.
Sat my first weekly Zazenkai. Feels like a very wholesome community. Love the structure of it. Also, your talk was great Jundo. I wandered for 8 years from group to group to finally stumble upon Shikantaza practice. Clinging to likes and dislikes, looking outside myself for happiness and peace, when the peace is already there. I will keep an eye out for when my excitement to be part of this community starts to diminish and remember your talk. But for now, Shikantaza feels very much like home.
