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 Jundo, Jakuden, Sekishi, and everyone for a wonderful zazenkai!

Jundo's song of choice at the end may have been a little too far back for me, but I was reminded of Rockwell - Somebody's Watching Me, if anyone needs a nice Halloween themed ear worm.

... and the song ... in this version (although the title is not so PC) by legendary film director Busby Berkeley, who truly understood that one is many, many just one ...
