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'.
It' s an impossible timeframe for me sadly. Thank you for sitting guys . I will join you tomorrow.

sat today
Yes, the earth is wrong, so day is night somewhere.
However, there is no bad time. If you sit with us tomorrow, you are still sitting right next to us today and always. Now then here there all forgotten.
Just sat this. Thank you Jundo, Sekishi and everyone.
Was a rough first half of the sit, family argument going on in the background (as is often the case), no small amount of self pity and anxiety present, almost reached for the phone to shut off the timer and give up.
Then I listened to Jundo's talk about sitting for all, shed a couple of tears and found a bigger container. Thought of Kakunen at the monastery and felt that spirit of practicing together with others for the good of all. After that it was truly sitting the sit with everyone.
They may work you hard in a Monastery, but lay practice sure has its challenges, at least for me! I am so grateful to be able to sit with all of you.

Sat this today also. Good to try the first one offline to see how it goes (and not do the ritual wrong). Observe no one is using a chant book. Has everyone memorized the chants?
