Zazen is the universal gift to humanity. Practicing zazen has brought great rewards in my life. I seriously started practicing in April 2019 and have continued until now. I have noticed my mind has some joy in resting with my breath. My behavior in working with others has become more compassionate, more patient and more understanding. I don’t criticize too harshly on my own behaviors. Thank you Roshi, Nyoze and Kashin for always being there for me.Thank you so much Koten, Susan, Angus and Coco for all the hard work they do to keep the center running smoothly, for many are coming to enjoy this gift.
