Happy to ride the zazen train; late, on-schedule or otherwise.
Glad we were able to have one more passenger!
We are never late Don't forget what Jundo Sensei always says.

Originally posted by chocobudaJust did my zazenkai, although on the second zazen my mind wandered off rahter often. Need to put more effort into controlling that. Still much to learn. And I like that.
Thank you, Jundo. It was a great session.
No need to "control" anything. Just return 10,000 times and 10,000 times again ... all while there is no place to return to, and the whole trip is Zazen.
Did you get a chance to look at Uchiyama Roshi's beautiful comments on ZZ' mind ...

Also, on the Japan sitters: We have had about a dozen folks call and express interest since I put a small notice in a local community paper here in Tsukuba. So far, though, they have not come ... but all promise to come in the next few weeks. The earthquakes and accompanying situations at home have distracted most folks for sure. Our foreign sitters should start back next week, as they are coming back to Japan ... At least I think they are coming back to Japan!

Thank you Jundo Sensei.
I see that the butsudan door was fixed since our last Zazenkai
No Japanese guests again this week though Maybe they thought it was going to be another 4 hour one?
