Rohatsu


Okay, finally got some serious zafu time today.  I showed up at the zendo in time for three periods of zazen, 55 minutes each, with 10 minutes of kinhin (walking meditation) in between.  After lunch (steamed veggies), four periods of zazen , 40 minutes each, again with 10 minutes of kinhin separating the periods.

There's an all-night meditation tonight that started at 7:30 pm (it's a little after 8:00 as I write this) and lasts until 6:00 am tomorrow morning, but I'm passing on that this year.  I'm getting too old to recover in time for Monday morning.

Rohatsu wraps up tomorrow with the usual morning service.
