What's the name of the timer app you use?

[@HardcoreZen]

It was made by BELFAST ZEN and it's just called "Zazen Meditation." I'm not sure if you can get it anymore. I like it because it's very simple. All it does is ring a bell 3 times to begin zazen and once to end. It doesn't do anything else. And I love that!

[@DDeCicco]

@@HardcoreZen Yea I use Insight Timer and this might be nitpicking but the bell strikes too quickly in succession for my taste. Liked how yours was slower, closer to how it's done at the group sittings I've been to

Remember when people were freaking out about transgender bathrooms and gender neutral pronouns? Ah, those were the days.

[@HardcoreZen]

I miss those days!

you're a bit slouched to the right and i think slow kinhin is a good idea to demonstrate in the context of zazen as well as people might get the idea that you can sit for unbroken long periods when the reality is its not "safe" also not everyone likes being so close to a wall visually that bell bowl tone is not great, you can have a big fund raising to replace it and sasaki style, skim it off to fund the "geisha", sex and money he was the most genuine and only honest "zen master" i notice in the other comments, its still all "an observer sport", nobody actually does it,, that's actually a bit weird, something the net has done, made zazen an observer sport, prior to the net the only context you were likely to observe zazen would also mean you are doing it "brad has been sitting for ten minutes and is definitely entering "samadhi", but no, is that right eye tiwtching - mara at work here, we'll just have to hold "our breath" (little self depreciating laugh), yes the eyelid has stopped moving, samadhi it is, no, the back is too bent, the excitement is building, but there's plenty "of track " left, we're on the edge of our seats here, samadhi or not?"

I noticed the apparent lean as well. But I don't think I was actually leaning. At least it didn't feel that way.

If the tripod mounted camera isn't placed exactly straight behind you it will make it look like your'e leaning to the side (even slightly) away from the camera. It's a matter of perspective, just like everything else.

[@HardcoreZen]

@@JimTempleman The camera (aka my laptop) was sitting on a chair. But the chair I used doesn't have a flat seat. I think that's what was going on. Although I'm trying to pay more attention lately to see if I really am leaning.
