      Thank you to all who facilitated this retread and all that attended. It was lovely, it was special, even for the few bits that I was able to participate live. I'll sit this week with the recording. Shinshi - the description from your talk, of kayaking with your friend and the moon following stuck in my head. It is so beautiful that I regret I'm not a painter, it should be expressed artistically.

              I just wanted to say thank you for this wonderful retreat. I am sure a lot went into making it happen, and it showed. Metta to the priests that were/are ill. Hope they are better soon.

              At the end of the first day I wanted to express my gratitude when Shokai asked if I had anything to share, but my mic wouldn't work! >_<

              So here it is: You all are amazing. Seriously -- I came away with much to think about from every single talk. Huge thanks to each of the priests for their insights. Samu, oryoki... it was all lovely and heartfelt.

              I do not want to make this too long, so I'll close out with that. Deep, deep gratitude. Thank you all.

              Gassho,

                I know I didn't manage to complete ango this year, I will try again next year, but I just wanted to say happy Rohatsu to all of you. I sat Zazen and I will sit a bit more after a break. Thank you all for your effort!

                    I would suggest that life stuff made up the majority of Rohatsu for me this year which was fine as I reframed it as Samu. Shikantaza multiple times a day was really lovely too. 2020 eh...

                      Thank you to everyone involved in all aspects of this year's Rohatsu. I have normally sat On Demand the last few years but bar the very late (for us Europeans) sessions, I joined as many Units as I could. Deep Bows to all who officiated.

                        sat parts of Rohatsu via YouTube, grateful to have the option to sit whenever health and technology allow.

                        thank you for all the work and dedication that goes into this.

                          Thank you, Jundo, priests, and everyone for a lovely rohatsu. Glad so many practiced together. I just sat with the last unit and it was wonderful to listen to the Fukanzazengi while sitting, and the sitting itself was wonderful.

                          Gassho,

                          I have a lot to learn; take anything I say that sounds like teaching with a grain of salt.

                            Thank you for this lovely retreat. I sat with some grief this year, and all the talks on death poems moved me greatly.

                              Thank you to Jundo and all who made this retreat what it was. I've still got a little bit more to go but I wanted to express appreciation for all of the hard work that went into this, and to thank all of the priests for the talks, poems, practices, etc. This was my first retreat, and my first time to sit live, and this retreat made me proud to take refuge in such a supportive and caring Sangha.

                              Gassho,
