July 23

With palms together,


Good Morning Everyone,



This morning we woke late as we were up into the night. Our wagessa group did well, although there was a degree of nervousness being reported regarding the actual process of sewing. This is an area where Zen practice is extremely helpful. Just a stitch. Just a breath. Nothing more. Our practice is to stay in the stitch and the breath and let all of the rest go. Practice.



Once the wagessas are completed, we will take them to a shop and have the embroidery applied.



Then, when the student is ready, as determined by the Teacher, we will conduct a ceremony and the person will take The Three Treasures and the Pure Precepts as their own.



What comes after is all about one’s willingness to manifest one’s true nature.



Be well.
