    As you can see, our Zazenkai consists of chanting the 'Heart Sutra' in English (the words are at the link below), some full floor prostrations in sets of three (please follow along with me ... or a simple Gassho can be substituted if you wish), followed by our Dedication, Zazen twice for about 30 minutes each, with 10 minutes of Kinhin in between, and we end the sitting with 'The Verse of Atonement' and 'The Four Vows'.

    Dancing was a bit of a surprise to me.

    I have no curtains hanging in my 'zen-room'. My neighbors look at me a bit suspiciously now. They probably think something like: 'weird guy, making strange movements in the middle of the night. Better avoid speaking to him, warn my children, etc.'

    Anyway, it was great.
