We had a great sangha practice yesterday. I was alone in my dojo and four long time Mandala Vermont students joined via zoom. Starting at 10 AM we opened our practice with the various mudra and mantra of the Goshinbo, moved on to sutra recitation and a period of silent meditation. After a bit of walking meditation we did a long'ish practice of the mantras contained in the Jusan Butsu Goshingon, then a short silent meditation, closing with a dedication of merit.
Group practice is one of the real gifts Ajari Tanaka has shared with us. A group of practitioners who have trained together for a while can really create an environment where meditation comes easily and naturally. It's pretty great.
