Are there times when sitting Zazen may be "too much" because we're freaking out with what's going on? Yes, there sure are.
Don't feel bad about taking a break from sitting when feeling overwhelmed.

Dear Jundo,
this is exactly why I do like zazen and zen practice. A lot of it is a common sense and it's really suited to (wo)men's needs.
Great video!
Thank you Jundo, These talks are so much the natural you

Thank you Jundo. Lovely perspective. So reaffirming and positive. It's such a relief that we don't have to be superhuman . Yesterday I was all-knotted up, but found that sitting zazen, just observing and accepting my tension (I added gentle music), allowed the day's sunlight in .

Yes, thank you Jundo for including all of us, my wife is 65 on April 3rd, I am 68, and we have seen no one in days, and no one calls, and I feel so alone. Our families think we are the strong ones because of our education, so no one calls, we can't visit, and I can't go to AA meetings, or THE UU church 25 miles away because there are no services, and there is very little we can do, and do? Facebook is not the solution. The men I sponsor need the strength of me, so I must call them, all I have is the Sangha, Treeleaf Zendo, please. Answer. I received one good letter from one new man.

Thank you, Jundo. I was feeling some despair yesterday and followed your advice. I didn't sit, but recited the gatha Shokai posted yesterday on the blog and it brought me peace. Today I participated in the Sunday Zazenkai and the despair was gone.
