Dana
Dear Boddhisatvas, thank you for a wonderful weekend! It was so good to sit with you all in person.
a reminder about dana: How lucky we all were this weekend and are right now to be freely receiving the sunshine, the bird call, Betsy's bark, the reassuring pressure of the ground under our feet and the Dharma, which Roshi Susan receives and gives freely, and for which I know so many of us feel such profound gratitude.
While the ticket cost of this event goes to the upkeep of the facility of the cloud mountain dojo and all that entails, dana sent directly to Roshi Susan is a way in which we can express that flow of giving that wells up in our own hearts as a way to say thank you for all that she does for the Sangha (never ending and all encompassing!)
We practice dana when we sit, when we take part in gatherings, when we bring our practice into our daily life and also when we generously and freely give what we can to support our teachers, practice reciprocity and keep the Dharma wheel turning.
🙏
Dana can be given in the bowl that sits in the small table in the dojo, or via the ko-fi page on the website or directly by bank transfer using the details below:

Thanks Jazz. And thanks everyone for our practice together and the warmth. And to Roshi Susan deep bow. And thanks so much for the bnag of soup you sent me home with Jacky ... we had a beaiutiful dinner and I was able to fill my thermas for lunch today at work.
I realised when I got home that I won't make the zazenkai in September as sadly committed to dates that weekend not having realised the dates ahead. But I look forward to November
