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:

Thank you everyone, I finished this morning.

Speaking of the robe chant, my kids (and probably cat too) often look fairly confused to see me chanting away with a piece of cloth on my head.

Gassho,

Heiso
