August 12th-13th, 2016 - OUR MONTHLY 4-hour ZAZENKAI!

[Kyonin]

This was a very interesting zazenkai. Good teachers, bad teachers, robots, Hockey Pockey dance as a spiritual practice and Mr. K in the house.

Doesn't get any better than that.

Thank you all!

Gassho,

Have a great weekend.

Wow, that was the most supremely wonderfully mediocre Zazenkai ever. So good to see Mr. K and thanks for chanting the Heart Sutra tonight! Jundo your talk resonated deeply with me, everything from teenagers (my daughter shaved her head a la Britney Spears this week, a meltdown because boyfriend going off to college) to "herding cats" (dealing with trying to lead an organization and wrestle with all the interpersonal issues)! And then the Hokey Pokey!! It's such a privilege to belong to this perfectly imperfect Sangha. Have a weekend everyone.

P.S. I like the out-of-tune bell.
P.P.S. And Jundo's apparently too-clear explanations.

Thanks to all.

I just practiced with this Zazenkai. It is wonderful to be able to tune in at a different time and be able to practice with community. Have a great weekend everyone!

Thank you all.

Nice to see Mr. K. again.
Even if the chants are the same, may your Takuhatsu bowl bring in more good stuff than smelly.

Actually, I made a joke during this month's Zazenkai talk about giving the Begging Bowl (which is also traditionally the Buddha Bowl for eating during Oryoki) an extra wash if someone donates dog poop ...

... but the dog poop might be cleaner than money ...

This will have you reaching for your wallet with rubber gloves:

All money, it turns out, could stand to be laundered: the stuff is filthy.
