Congratulations Shingen and Shugen. I was not able to witness your ceremony for a number of reasons, but even as I'm so new here and I don't know most of t he people here I feel a deep respect for people that choose to honestly devote their life to any spiritual path.
Let me greet you both with a heartful gassho and wish you find blissful every step of your path.
Shingen and Shugen, may I offer deep bows to you both on this most auspicious day. This Sangha is blessed by your presence, dedication and service.

A cheer for our team:
Samsara to the left!
Nirvana to the right!
Stand up! Sit down!
Fight fight fight!
Then just let go!
Congratulations! I'd be curious to know, from all the unsui really, if you plan or see yourselves teaching far down the road? Or are some of you initially doing it more to just commit yourself more seriously to practice?
I haven't been able to see this until now. Congrats!!
Deep bows,
Heion
Hi Kaishin,
I didn't want you to think you were being ignored. I've been thinking about your questions and I just can't come up with a "straight" answer. Like practice, it's not a static thing - sometimes it's one answer, sometimes it's something else. For me, it really is too early to tell for sure. I'm sorry my answer isn't more illuminating but it's the best I can come up with for now. I, of course, am only answering for my self.
Gassho,
Congratulations Shingen and Shugen!
Hello Kaishin,
For me I am can be a student one moment and at another, be a teacher. Each moment, each experience has the opportunity for both or just one. For me ... I am just walking this path and helping where and when I can ... nothing to attain ... and yet to embrace each moment as it is. =)
