Our Celebration, culminating with the Dharma Inquiry, ending our Fall Practice Period was light-hearted and joyful (and with a bit of relief, it seems, from our Shuso!) with a lovely ceremony and time to gather after in Cloud Hall.  We all appreciated how wonderful it is to have these gatherings at our beautiful Sansui-ji.  Many comments from the community made it apparent how much we are truly grateful for this new, wonderful, co-created space which we now occupy.  Congratulations, Junka Ken!!  May your experience serve you well in your continued journey!

And thanks to our Benji, Enka Aidan, for his support of the Shuso through the practice period--and for his poem below to start the call and response!!

"Thoroughly separate the wheat from the chaff; dig many holes, throw them in together--and wait for growth. A watched pot always boils eventually!"
