Yes, it will be a 3-day Sesshin with a 'local' Sangha (some 500km away of my town) from 24th to 27th
October. I will also have a chance of many 'train zazen' during the 14 hrs of a round trip :)

My time in Hartford, South Dakota is 10:30 p.m. when this sitting takes place. I cannot say I will be at every meeting, but I would like to try this before my bedtime. I will try sometime. I have been away from Treeleaf groups in Shikantaza far too long.

Thank you so much-- I made it all the way through, was it one hour? I am happy about this. Despite all, we can sit in harmony with each other do as the Buddha would have us do-- being there for each other, And for me, dare I say my own commitment? In Christ-like fashion. Yes, as was said, for each other, to be well and take care of each other.

Hey Chris, mind me asking what exactly stlah means? I assume it has something to do with Sat Today but I can’t figure it out! Thanks!

I wasn't feeling well last Sunday Sit; I feel better than erratic behavior. Treeleaf Zendo so important to me; please accept me back into Sunday Sit. It is a Zazenkai I can manage. I have other Shikantaza in the Zendo. Mine is daily practice. Thankful for Treeleaf as a member allowing Jukai twice. I belong here.
