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 wonderful to share practice with you all tonight. Apologies for not being able to stay for tea this time. I had to run upstairs to herd cats (kittens, actually) before the chaos got out of control.

I am glad to sit with you all today. Onkai, your chants were very pleasant to hear. Thank you, Jundo, for the talk today. I may have been thinking in "I" sense, but the talk helped reframe my negative views about myself into something neutral or positive. There are enough negative things in the world, and I don't need to add more to myself.

(sorry for running long)
Gassho,
