I was very happy to sign up for $5 a month and really happy to help out with a place that is becoming dear to my heart and remember I am a poet with two books to my credit. But poets are really poor, so remember that this money is what I can afford Elgwyn, MFA, sat today Gassho..

It's very very expensive to hang out here. It costs NOTHING! And you get what you pay for. NOTHING!

Antiji has for decades held a mythical quality for me. Nothing mythical there. It is where the rubber meets the road, the reality of Zen Buddhist practice for the sake of Zen Buddhist practice. Zazen with no toys, they say Uchiyama Roshi used to call their practice. A bunch of renegade zennis gathered there just to sit. What a nutty idea, almost like the ancients. How crazy is that? Pure sanity if you look around.
To see Muho sensei live, so relaxed in this life, on of that kind of totally dedicated Dharma practice, was wonderful for me.
I sit with students of students of Uchiyama Roshi and feel first hand their awesome dedication to the Dharma. One, ordained by a student of Deshimaro Roshi another of Kodo Sawaki's fire-spiting dragons, lives a constant practice in gentleness and good humor, sits zazen like stone. Man, that is what I wanna be when I grow up: a gentle dharma fool.
Deep vows to Jundo and this beloved sangha, and Muho and may Antaiji remain a strong, clear, no-nonsense becon of Dharma reality for all the world.

Thank you Jundo and Muho for this wonderful opportunity.
I sat this one yesterday night.

Muho sitting is majestic, he sits truly like a statue.
I also enjoyed his talk, specially his story with zazen and his arrival and Antaiji.

I felt very honored to have this chance to sit with him although some days later.


Deep bows

Daiyo,

I got curious about Mujo after reading about Kyonin's time at Antaiji and sat with this recording a little last night and listened to Mujo's talk while doing some chores. Thought I'd post so this thread will show up in "new posts" if anybody would like to take a look here in the far off future of 2019.

Nice one Nenka.
I'll check it out hopefully tomorrow. Today is all about Rakusu sewing and involuntarily sticking needles and pins into fingers. I'm sure in the future the good people at CSI will have a field day looking at blood droplets that are unseen by the naked eye that will inevitably be all over my Rakusu.

Thanks Nenka.
I've watched a few of Muho's videos on YouTube since hearing of Kyonin's intention to Sesshin there and even 'sat' with him when he sat Zazen outside a few days ago. His pre and post Zazen loosening and stretching were really interesting to watch. It's nice to know that even folk who've sat for 30 years still need to set themselves right before starting.
