"Recognize suffering, remove suffering." - Shakyamuni Buddha when asked, "Uhm . . .what?"
I join the chorus of thanks to Jundo and our Unsui for patiently ushering us through this process, as well as congratulations to all those I was fortunate enough to study with and take Jukai. I can’t thank Shingen enough for his sewing help. Shinshi, I too had to change devices at the last minute and barely got in before it started! Happy to be part of this community.

I managed to make it in the end and was in Room Not-two. I couldn’t hear very well and I have forgotten to put my glasses on show it was all a bit of a blurry.
Hello to all my new Dharma brothers and sisters and thank you to my Dharma Daddy (ugh that sounds weird) for welcoming me into the Sangha

Ask not what the Sangha can do for you, but what you can do for your Sangha.
Just joined in with the humbly requested Jukai this evening.
Congratulations to all! Happy to be there to circle around you

I am just a priest-in-training, please do not take anything I say as a teaching.
We say "on non-demand" around here, as we are free of all demands ... Maybe "on polite request" Jukai ...
By the way, I just wrote the following to someone who had a technical "non-problem" or otherwise could not be there "live" ... and it sums up my attitude to such ...
SatTLahYou were there! I saw you! Sitting right next to me.
So, in our Sangha we drop all thought of "now and then, here vs. there" ... like good Buddhists do. What you need to do is watch the Ceremony record from last night, and visualize your presence saying all the vows with all your heart, fully present. If you wish, you can then write me that all is done and the Ceremony accomplished. If that is not enough, we can have a brief Skype where you can affirm to me that all is done and the Ceremony accomplished.
Will that do the trick?
Gassho, Jundo

Deep bows and congratulations to the jukaiees.
I was not able to be present at the moment, but my heart is with this sangha always.
I expect to get to know you better and share many activities.
