    PS - There is no "wrong" or "right" in Zazen ... yet here is a little explanation of the "right" times to Bow (A Koan) ...


    Chant Book is here for those who wish to join in: CHANT BOOK LINK

    The other video I mention on Zendo decorum is this one, from our "Always Beginners" video Series:

        Thank you everyone, and thank you so much Jundo for the very timely talk, as usual! This whole Ango has been a struggle to be present here for me, with constant fires everywhere else needing to be put out, culminating in the seeming anticlimax of falling ill during Rohatsu. Of course as you say, it is all just the universe doing its thing, including every messy, beautiful moment.

        Gassho,

          Thanks Jundo & Jakuden and all. Timely talk, as acclimatizing to normal after Rohatsu was tricky!

          Always great to be with you.

            Thank you, Jundo, Jakuden, and everyone for another lovely zazenkai. The talk will help me continue my practice post ango. Have a great weekend!

              Lovely spending time with all of you, and practicing together. It was a sleepy zazenkai for me, so that made it interesting. Jundo, your talk was tailored made for me and the week I’ve had, so THANK YOU!

                Thank you all, I joined one-way 45 mins behind due to a bit of an emotional/mental crisis — so, coincidentally enough, as Jundo's talks have a way of doing, I heard exactly what I needed to hear tonight.

                  Thank you Jundo, Jakuden (glad you're feeling better) and all. As wonderful as the Rohatsu retreat was last weekend, it was lovely to join you all once again for a very "ordinary" zazenkai.

                  Extra thanks to Jundo for another always-timely talk that was exactly what I needed to break my post-retreat withdrawl.

                  Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

                  Gassho,
