In this talk Seiso Sensei describes the meaning and function of the three bells rung at the beginning of a round of zazen including the signal, symbolic and practice functions.

I so appreciate your explanation of what may seem a mundane or purely technical aspect of sitting. Having an understanding of both the symbolic and practical (i.e., deepening of presence) aspects of the three bells, helps one, in my experience, to enter zazen with more clarity, precision, and peacefulness.

Thank you Seiso, for another excellent lesson. One I have saved and wil return to, especially when unable to attend your enlightening and welcoming lives here on IT. Sending blessings and gratitude 🙏
