    Hi Shujin,
    Glad we were able to have one more passenger!

    We are never late Don't forget what Jundo Sensei always says.

    Thank you, Jundo. It was a great session.
    Hi,

    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 ...

    viewtopic.php?p=20645#p20645

    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!

    Gassho, Jundo

    I'd say less effort...or perhaps more effort into letting go of any effort to control your effort.

    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?

    Gassho,
    John
