May 13-14th Treeleaf Weekly Zazenkai - Mokugyo Nengyoku

[Heiso]

Hey all - it was good to see you all again, it has been a while. In a nutshell I have been caught up in a tornado (practically and existentially!) for close to two years, largely thanks to finally admitting to myself that I have moderate OCD that has some hairy moments. So I couldn't come out of my tornado bunker until the storm had passed. Great to be back and being in community with you all again.

Great to see you back, Tokan!

Gassho,

Thank you everyone! I sat this evening. I’m understanding that caregiving is in my bowl, it is good, and it is my practice.

Gassho,

I just want to share this. I revisited the Sri Lankan temple today for Vesak, the Buddha's Birthday. I just went to offer greetings. But they have a wonderful custom of dressing the great Buddha Statue in formal Kesa for such times ...

As the Buddha usually sits ...

... and today ...

It is not simple task to dress the Buddha either, involving some shaky ladders and daring young men. But this is the importance of the Kesa.

Gassho, J
