[Jundo]

Please join Zazenkai live from QUARANTINE!, as I am held in forced confinement as a prisoner of the Japanese Government!

PS - There is no "wrong" or "right" in Zazen ... yet here is a little explanation of the "right" times to Bow (A Koan) ...

The other video I mention on Zendo decorum is this one, from our "Always Beginners" video Series:

I also recommend a little Talk on why small rituals and procedures are so cherished in the Zendo:

Thank you Jundo, Sekishi and everyone, sat one way as was expecting an important phone call myself! And even heard part of the tea party lol. So tickled to hear about Leon in Virginia and a little jealous of Jundo in his hostage situation.

Thank you everyone. I sat with you this morning. Seeing Jundo sitting there in a hotel room made me really appreciate Treeleaf. This Sangha is truly available pretty much everywhere. No need to seek out a temple or just the right moment. The right moment and right place are when and where you choose to practice.

Could not agree more. As someone once said in these parts, the world is our temple.

Completed this morning on demand.
