    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 was feeling it sooo deeply...

                Always a pleasure to practice together.

                Thank you and bows to all

                        Thank you Jundo, Washin, and everyone coming together to practice today.

                        And since no one argues here () just think of our newly beloved "Mud Puppies" when faced with a time:
