    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:

                    Thanks Jundo, Shoka and all for sharing zazenkai.

                    Being with you tops up the hope batteries.

                        How much hope all of you bring. I am grateful for each and every one of you ! Thank you [emoji2309]

                        By the way, THESE are the fungi I was mentioning during the tea house and that Sekishi and I geek out about [emoji1] https://youtu.be/bxABOiay6oA

                        Sorry for the extra lines

                          The one-way youtube video may be unavailable for a little bit. Hopefully not for long.

                          Thank you for coming together to manifest Sangha.

                          Deep bows,
