What's that priest-in-training always saying: "It's all good practice".

Gassho,

Unfortunately I couldn't sit all the zazenkai with you!
But I'm happy I could sit 15min with all of you to commemorate the beggining of Ango!
I wish good practice to everyone and a lot of courage!
Because 100 days is a long and beautiful commitment!

gassho to all of you!

Very nice.

I tried to time Zazenkai to avoid interruptions and was interrupted anyway. Didn't let it bother me and just went with the flow. As has been said, it's all good practice, right? Have a great weekend, everyone!

I would like to note that I will be participating in the zazenkai in a somewhat modified fashion for the first half (or so) of Ango, given certain constraints of my current setup: I will be following the zazenkai schedule but not following along with the netcast. I will be doing the zazenkai either on Saturday or Sunday in my practice space on the other side of the house from my computer This will also help me 'ease into it' by throwing myself right into doing it, without re-training myself with chant translations that are new to me or having to fuss over setting up my computer each time or moving my cushion all over. Hopefully, after I have moved in with my folks in Virginia for a couple of months starting in October, I can tune in live and have my computer going as I "sit along." I may start doing this sooner, as I establish the habit of doing this every Saturday and "having to re-train or re-learn" doesn't become an excuse not to do it at all.

Good to sit with you all. My little warriors woke up during the last few minutes of chanting. My toddler was studying me quizzically during the Four Vows, while his infant brother was roaring in his playpen. Good times in the zoo. Glad to be a part of Ango.
