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:

Hi everyone,

Just a note - I will be taking screenshots tonight for some training materials. So if you see me all up in the camera not chanting, thats why. Please ignore my uncouth rudeness.
