....Kodo Sawaki. Hoboku Kakushu lectures, 1931

How to preserve the bearing, the dignity of Zazen throughout the course of my day, on and off the cushion, living by vow and repentance.... "being watched over, protected, and given strength by zazen."

"Vow gives us courage, repentance crushes our arrogance." (Uchiyama)

Reflections after a couple of hours of sitting and sewing.

Wow.
