Thank you Onkai for your attentiveness, and careful leading. I am learning as I go along not to rush and constantly sit with Verse of Atonement, siting with Four Vows. May we be blessed safety.

I have a lot to learn; take anything I say that sounds like teaching with a grain of salt.
Though I have missed today, I will try to find today's Tonglen video. Thank you all. I do not believe there is a Sunday Sit Video, so I will sit alone this afternoon.

Washin I was not at Sunday sit today but I promise to be there next week but as it was announced I thought of you and you country. Maybe friends are less complicated than loving country, life, and friendship that we cannot see. I was preoccupied with a selfish matter. Maybe I can offer, I will be there next week.

I am going to announce that this Sunday sit will continue with Washin, so long as the internet and circumstances allow ... which is hopefully a long time. So, you may get some visitors from time to time in the coming weeks too.
Thank you all for a so meaningful event. May our next such event be to celebrate the Russian army going back home, wishing them safe travels and peace on the road back to Moscow.

Just a note that I have created a special section for Washin's sittings, which will continue there each Sunday so long as this madness continues and conditions permit. Hopefully, peace and sanity will soon be restored, and we will not need any special section or sittings.
Sunday Zazen for Peace, with Washin in Ukraine
Our Rev. Washin will host a special Zazen Sitting every Sunday, so long as need and conditions allow, for Peace, Children and the Injured, supporting the Ukrainian Sangha, live from Odessa

The time, place and way of connecting, etc., is exactly the same as for this 'Sunday Sit with Shugen and Washin.'

even if the calendar now shows me 3 pm due to a change of time in the US.
