PS - There is no "wrong" or "right" in Zazen ... yet here is a little explanation of the "right" times to Bow (A Koan) ...

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:

It was lovely. As in Germany it was 2 am, I sat with you later on YouTube. With an unexpected stiff neck (who expects it anyway?) and frozen shoulder, it was logistically interesting to "sit", but I guess the sleeping Buddha would have agreed with my choice of posture.

Stiffness of neck continues, but the mind is fluid.

Thank you all for your practice. Thank you Jakuden for your beautiful chanting and thank you Jundo for your talk with important reminders. I sat with you tonight. I have been having a major problem with my internet connection for a few days. So I started the video, then I sat and like a cosmic joke, the video stopped after just a few seconds and I did not realized it. And I thought it is a bad day for me and I'm not able to calm my mind ("Please, someone ring the bell..."). And I used the timer in the second sitting to refrain that kind of situation. Well, I hope that still counts as sitting with you.

Gassho,
Doğukan.
