Special Zazenkai with Daiho Hilbert and Jundo "Roshi" Ceremony

[Kotei]

How did you make it?

I collected pieces of used pictures, dyed and stitched them together in a certain pattern.
Something like that. ;-)

A most recent picture was found, grabbed and cut from the Banto Zazenkai video in the travel diary thread.
Wrote a small 'bash'/'wget' shell script, that walked slowly through the member list, collecting the 762 Sangha avatars. No choosing/picking was done, although there are some plain white or graphic images.
Used different algorithms, that sort/match/align with different parameter sets, adjusting color and brightness of the Sangha pictures automatically while processing.
Some hundred iterations later, the posted combination appeared, weighting aesthetics and effects in a certain way. Looking close at the screen, Sangha appeared, 2-3 meters away, it's more Jundo.

Gassho,

That is easy for you to do!

That is because our Sangha did all the work.
Taking all the pictures, carefully selecting the right one for their individual representing avatar.
Teamwork.

I have not seen the ceremony, and I an convinced to the marrow that Jundo Roshi is a great title for a great man. We only experienced all of us each other for about 5 hours, sitting, honor eating sitting walking meditation all we could in a short time wonderment we--I--was struck with deep bows, sensitivity, care for each other. Thank you Jundo, and Daiho now Jundo Roshi, Daiho Roshi though I do not know you--you are in good company, thus, you too deserve your Title Daiho Roshi, and Jundo Roshi. Thank you Jundo for accepting me advising me (lay) Charles Elgwyn Taylor.

Deepest Bows
