    Thank you, Jundo, Kyonin, and everyone. This was a great start to ango!

    I have a lot to learn; take anything I say that sounds like teaching with a grain of salt.

      Joined at the talk—will make up the first half tomorrow. Great to see everyone at the start of Ango and Jukai season.

      Definitely not off to have sex (but as a wise man once said, "Very well, give them cake!")

          Finally I managed sitting a Zazenkai live again.

          Wishing everyone a fruitful and happy Ango and Jukai season!

            Thank you Jundo, Kyonin and everyone for an amazing start of Ango! Let us pour ourselves into our practice, abiding in peace and devoting ourselves to building each other up, strengthening the sangha and renewing our commitments to uphold our vows and precepts! I appreciate all of you and I feel fortunate to share this space and time with each and everyone here.

              I don't know how you manage to stay up so late every week. Deep bows for that.
              I forgot how it is called in Japanese, but there is this practice of 'all night Zazen', I tasted tonight

                      It really was.

                      At one point we had 36 people in the Zoom plus 7 people watching the livestream. That might be a Treeleaf record!

                          It is lovely to have the recording available so I could sit with you all.
                          Thank you for the great talk.

                            Many thanks to all for the wonderful session last night
                            The Viralakirti Sutra was great and to be honest a new one to me.

                            Anywho, welcome to Ango, everybody
