          Hi all,
          I am "on duty" at Great River Sangha this evening so I will be unable to sit alive.... I will sit the Zazenkai tomorrow (Saturday evening) US time. I will be back next Friday to join you live.

          A deep bow,
          Yugen

                    Was only able to sit for a few minutes before being called in for work. Will likely have finish it on Saturday or Sunday (It's currently Friday evening for me). Was nice sitting with you all even if it was just for a few moments

                          Thanks to Jundo and our friends at Tsukuba.

                          And thanks to all who sat/will sit. It was a wonderful Zazenkai evening for me.

                          And yes, the camera and the little elecrtonic song are part of zazen.
