    Deep bows to all!
    I managed to sit in live (one way) a few times and will continue to sit with the retreat throughout the week.

      Thats right, in our way we sit with all things just as they are - a DOING.
      And then we get up and head out into the world - a DOING.
      And eventually the energy of Zazen fades and things don't go according to "our plan" (do they ever?) and Mara appears, we DO it all over again. GOTO 10.

      Trying - by doing; over and over and over again, unattached to the outcome.

      Potato, potahto.

        Just finished sitting this. My health meant that I had to skip the first session of each day but otherwise thank you very much for sitting with me.

        It was great to have the unsui play such a pivotal role and the theme and talks were great - deep bows to each of you.

          Did as much as I could this weekend, and plan to finish up after the holidays.

          As always, it was awesome. Thanks, guys.

            Kokuu, I am happy to hear you were able to sit with us. I know your health is challenging at time, but I am always moved by your dedication. Deep bows to you. =)

              Thank you so much, Jundo and all of you priests, for organising this retreat! Such wonderful work.

              I sat the first day last Sunday and the second day today. I must say it was challenging, it was my first ever retreat. There were a few moments when I wanted to get up and run away, I felt so exhausted. But I guess that's part of the whole experience and there was so much stuff I learned.

              And thank you to everyone on Google Hangout. I never felt alone seeing all of you there on the screen, that made it so much easier to finish the whole retreat.

              Thanks for everything!
