Sept 9th-10th, 2016 - OUR MONTHLY 4-hour ZAZENKAI - COMMENCING this ANGO & JUKAI !
I had to leave a little before the end, but thank you all! I don't know why my camera was so dark... it looked like I was practicing in total darkness, but my lights were on!
Gassho,
Sat today

The Planets must be out of alignment because I can't seem to view the Zazenkai recording. Am I the only one who sees this on the YouTube channel?
It says the event is upcoming today?
Odd.
So I just sat as usual.
Hope to be able to sit with the Ango/Jukai commencement recording soon.
Gassho,

Sat early this morning with the recording. It's great to be a part of this wonderful and unique community.
Best of wishes to everyone during this Ango season.
Thank you all. Couldn't catch it live so just sat with the recording.
Happy Ango to everyone

I am a novice priest-in-training. Anything that I say must not be considered as teaching
and should be taken with a 'grain of salt'.
Thank you Jundo, Kyonin and Sanghal. I sat with the first part of the recording this morning upstairs but had to leave because of the heat (no air conditioning there). I am completing this downstairs and will listen to the Dharma talk audio when it is available,
I was able to sit with the video, afterward. What a wonderful talk! Though, I have a question:
When you mentioned Not Killing and how it relates to unintended civilian casualties on the battlefield, I've been wondering how to reconcile the two. It is difficult to recognize that this is, as you say, no accident. It seems if one is to learn from this non-accident (to which you alluded in the sewing example), that it is quite the hefty price paid for me to learn a lesson. Perhaps I have a flawed understanding of your meaning. Should I view this in a different way? Is there nothing to understand? Is my question better suited for another thread? I was hoping you might be able to elaborate a little bit. Thanks! Oh, and yes, war is stupid.
Deep Bows
