Thread: SIT-A-LONG with Jundo - TO ALL SOLO PRACTITIONERS: Don't Be A Selfish Pratyeka-buddha

  1. #51
    I have spent the past ten years practicing and studying alone, yet not. When I was ready to commit myself fully here you all are. The feeling that I have been sitting with you all this entire time is strong. I thank each of you. Much of my Zazen is done is done in nature, away from the computer screen. I would like to join in on some of the daily and or weekly sittings.

    My problem is getting into a routine of coming back indoors. Has anyone else ever faced this issue? Any suggestions? Is it possible to join in the hangout sessions via my phone?

    Gassho,

    Hi Brooks,

    You may have to download the Google Plus Hangout App to join from your phone. You will not be able to start a hangout but you will be able to join one.

    Gassho,

    Thank you Jundo

    This speaks right to my heart. I sat "alone" for 35 years, although now, as others have said, I realize I was never alone. Working long hours at my former career, and, in truth, just too shy to go to a zen center (even though I wanted to, really), and also being wary of "guru's", I kept saying, maybe next year. Then, just about the time I moved to the middle of nowhere here in the pines, I realized that practice was incomplete without Sangha. Out of nowhere in a crazy coincidence Treeleaf and Jundo dropped into my life. There are no words to fully express my gratitude to you all, this beautiful Sangha, and our dear Teacher(s).

    I am very happy! Last night I was able to find and follow the Zazenkai from South Dakota--as it was happening--I was able to learn more about walking meditation, and I completed the 1 1/2 hour session. This gives me hope for the coming retreat.
