Chattanooga


I was all prepared to actually discuss "Zen Buddhist meditation is neither Buddhism nor meditation" in Chattanooga today, but due to torrential rains, which made the drive both ways so much more interesting, the attendance was down to just two persons, so instead we talked about liturgy and practical matters of administering the center.

The big news is that we've finally got a decent (and homemade) temple drum in Chattanooga for chanting The Heart Sutra, as well as a new bench for the gongs so the attendant doesn't have to constantly bend down to ring the bells on the floor.  My back, among others, appreciates the hard work and offering to the sangha.
