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:

I will not be able to join in this week. My wife and I are have an event tonight where I will not be back in time. I have gotten used to coming every week, so it feels strange to not see all of you. I will join on demand some time this week. Have a good sit.

To all left sitting for an hour due to the bell mishap ... I feel Compassion for you, I do. Deep apologies.

Here is the dance of the 1000 Hand Kannon, to ease your hearts ... and legs ... a hearing impaired troupe from China ...

I missed the warning at the top of the thread and still sat for an hour! I am impressed that I made it through, no time right?
