Please sit with Hans Me on Mt. Tsukuba

It took much time to get the sitting up today (YouTube and Google are tricky to use for big videos), but please don't miss this one and sit-a-long if you can ...

While Hans is visiting Treeleaf from Germany, I took him on a hike of our local mountain ... Mt. Tsukuba. It is one of Japan's 'Great Mountains' ...

You can read all about "Tsukuba-san" here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mt._Tsukuba

So, please sit with Hans and me next to a -really- grand 'ol rock.

Will does not know it yet (his plane is due in about now), but I am taking him for the same this weekend. Check that out too!

Hans will testify that I move down that mountain pretty good ... for a 48 year old fat man.

Gassho, Jundo

PS- Yesterday's two hour retreat is playing (don't miss Hans' great rendition of the "Heart Sutra" in Japanese!), but it takes about 5 minutes or so to start after you hit the play button (more technical glitches!). Please check that out too if you can, be patient, and sit-a-long ...

Hey Jundo,

Great video and I hope you are able to post the entire clip. I grew up with a view of a mountain in the Adirondacks (Mt. McKenzie) that had double peaks, something I really took for granted in my youth.

Hopefully I'll get to visit Mt. Tsukuba someday.

Gassho,
Scott

The video has been fixed, and you can sit the full 35 minutes with Hans and me and the tweeting birds and the big rock on Mt. Tsukuba.

Please sit-a-long!
