    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:

    Dear All, It is already the 1st of April here in Japan, the traditional start of the Japanese business fiscal year and, sadly, Treeleaf is in a bit of trouble! Donations are down and, honestly, we are bust, nearly Buddha Bankrupt! (Sorry, our members are really cheap with the Dana sometimes :( ) For that reason, I have

    Bye bye.

                I don't think I've ever giggled so much during a dharma talk! I love how everyone in the Zoom room had a totally straight gace the entire time. Happy April fools erm I mean new fiscal year everyone!
