[Shinzan]

Thanks so much, Taigen, for your visit and words. Important to me were your comments about "coming down from the mountain," engaging with the world's sufferings. Environmental issues are a huge area where Kannon's capacity to mourn and hold suffering is a key way that our practice can help in the world. Clearly more attention is needed on how vested interests are trying to co-opt and distract with doubt and spiritual materialism.

With a deep bow.
Shinzan

What a wonderful talk, many thanks to Jundo for making this possible and to Taigen for taking the time and sharing these wonderful stories with us all. =)

Thank you Jundo, Taigen, everyone. I learned much, now have to go and sit with it and practice.

I am sorry if my dog was a distraction. He is a puppy that did not get his morning walk, very bored and made sure I was aware of it.

Thank you very much everybody.

Sitting again with you and listening to Taigen sensei gave new strengths to my practice which was somehow weakening.

Thank you Taigen and all, and thanks Jundo for reading my question. Zen Questions was a very insightful book for me, so this new one is on my list for sure. I've also started reading the Ehei Koroku, but that's more of a decade-long project ...

I agree!

[Joyo]

Thank you Nindo and Daiyo. I was worried he was making a scene. He is very lovely to me too, my sweet bodhisattva

Jundo,

Thank you very much for bringing Taigen-sama to Treeleaf. It was an honor to have him with us today.

I really need to watch the video of this zazenkai at least a couple more times because I think I missed some important parts due to my slow computer

Gassho,
