        I'll sit with you with the recorded version.

        Jundo, I know the Dedication already contains many sad situations, like victims of natural events.

        5 years after the tsunami, could we do an extra dedication for the people of Fukushima prefecture, like the people of Minamisoma and all others touched by this tragedy?
        And could we maybe sit for all Sangha members and family members ill in health, and the strength of families?
        (Thinking of our dear ones in the NICU)

        Sitting for all of them.

          Hi Danny,

          I was already planning to mention this tomorrow, and include all sentient beings who have encountered natural events everywhere ...

          To all victims of war, violence and natural events, to the injured and all families touched by these tragedies ...

                I have a lot to learn; take anything I say that sounds like teaching with a grain of salt.

                            First opportunity to sit with you all in real time.
                            Fascinating to think I sat with people from all over the world.
                            Thank you.
