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:

I also recommend a little Talk on why small rituals and procedures are so cherished in the Zendo:

I look forward to joining in afterward by recording and practicing all the steps. Do we chant along or stay silent, or is it optional?

Chant along!! There are small bits just for the ino, but they are noted in the chant book. I always chant outloud [emoji3526]

Do mute your microphone though (because of internet lag chanting together tends to become a beautiful cacophony).

The quote I could not recall (I was not kidding that I forget things) is from Zanmai-o-Zanmai by Master Dogen ...

there is the sitting of the mind, which is not the same as the sitting of the body. There is the sitting of the body, which is not the same as the sitting of the mind. There is the sitting of the body and mind sloughed off, which is not the same as the sitting of the body and mind sloughed off

Thank you everyone. I sat with you this morning.

Thank you for the talk. It was a talk I needed to hear today.

I didn’t make it in so much pain I was screaming Marjorie took care of me. Today I live in the aftermath of the horrible pain. I’m sorry I didn’t make it. This was very important to me. I just am getting back to normal, I am still lost.
Sorry I didn’t make it.
