Seiso,
The journey of learning Zazen with you is a blessing.

Have a beautiful day.

Thank you, Seiso 🙏 I appreciated the discussion about the term ‘absorption’ and the subtle distinction from ‘concentration’ - that resonated for me. I also appreciate your gentle, authentic, kind guidance and approach. I can feel that you care, and that means the world. Thank you 🙏

Many bows

Thank you so much - I always enjoy your explanations !!

I appreciate the calming and stilling influence of absorption in the sound of the bell. Your talk helped clarify this aspect which I was only partly aware of. Thank you Sensei.

i love the simplicity of the practice, opening a space of stillness and equanimity.

I really needed your kind guidance. Thanks! and I hope you put out new instructions soon.

Thank you. I appreciate this series of simple instructions. It has inspired me to join a Zen meditation group in my area to continue deepening my practice. 🙏🏼
