She'd been listening to the 13th beginner's video (insta-zazen) from across the room. As soon as it finished she came & sat on me. A hint I should practice insta-zazen, perhaps.

Today it was over 100 outside, but the garden still needed tending. Terra decided to make a bed between the tomatoes.

This is where I have built the house. A bit far from civilization. As you can see, the garage is on the first floor. It's winter here right now. Temperature varying 17-20 degrees Celsius.

Traditional ceremony at Obon,at summer.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
This is a kind of sign for already died ancestors.Fire is sign for them.
Obon is name of ceremony.Ancestor come back for us in this season and go back to their world.
Also fire and bell is same meaning, chanting is also.
This is also way of ceremony of Soto Zen sect.

Obon is not so common in all Soto Zen or groups in the West, because of less emphasis on ancestor worship and belief in the visit of the spirits of the Ancestors. Some Soto Zen groups do in America, but usually those with large Japanese-American membership. Similar ceremonies are also found in Chinese Buddhism.

In our Sangha, we have a memorial service to recall deceased family and friends together with Buddha's Parinirvana (Death) Day in February.

Beautiful photos everyone. My cat has made a new bed on my shrine - probably because it's nice and cool. He is very respectful and doesn't knock anything over.

I think that the stray cats we adopted are anti Buddhist. Every morning I put a flower on the altar and some water, I come home to a shredded flower (usually strategically place right where I will see it immediately) and an empty water bowl. At least they don't gnaw on buddha's head or pee in the incense bowl...
