Just checking in to see what's happening this year... any news?

Working on learning a new instrument.

 

What are you going to learn to play ?

 

I'm headed west from Iowa in two days . Ya , the snooze news of an anxiety world gives me pause . But
I have The 5 Wheels of Peace to deliver and children to love . This is how family is doing .

 

I do cartwheels to reenergise

 

Not kean to make plans until I'm sure covid is under control. Did want to go to China or Japan in the near future but...........

 

After 14 months of Zoom, our little Buddhist meditation group is re-starting in-person practice again.

 

The group consensus has been simply to sit two rounds of 20 minutes each; there's no room for kinhin, so we do a little qi gong between sits. I was taught primarily the 'Heart of Perfect Wisdom' (Prajna Paramita Hrdaya) and the 'Ten Verse Kannon Sutra'; both in English, using the translations of Rochester Zen Center (I trained at one of their satellites). We'd often recite Hakuin's 'Song in Praise of Zazen', too.

 

Yes; the Daimoku; in praise to the Lotus Sutra. I once did an in-depth course on the Lotus Sutra with a teacher of a sect that particularly reveres it.

 

Thanks man. Have had two vax but still don't feel the need to go to a crowded airport or share a large tin can with many people for a lot of hours.

 

Went to a small lebanese restaurant last weekend and a gallery. Masks obviously, except when at table. I was not comfortable but what really scared me was the amount of people going about their business in the city with no social distancing and no masks. Scary stuff. I did enjoy the afternoon out with my daughter but I realy wasn't that comfortable.

 

It's the middle of June and still no word on a national gathering this year. Is it cancelled?
