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'll most likely miss sitting with you all live tonight as I have to be up before dawn to take my son on a college tour and therefore need to adjust my bedtime accordingly.

I'll catch up over the weekend though.

Gassho,
Seikan

I haven’t sat this Zazenkai yet but I just wanted to chime in about my wonderful and talented friend Bion/Jake. A few years back he generously worked with me on this little song. These are his lyrics and vocals with my guitar accompaniment
