Ango 2011 - Day 18

• Morning Zazen (60m @ 06:00)
• Sat on G+ with Roky & Bob again!
• Shobo Study
• Spent some time on Transmission of the Robe
• Again, Dogen continues with the same reverence and expounding of the virtues of the robe and it's merit to those who maintain it properly.
• Dokusan
• Was able to have dokusan with Taigu tonight!
• Was wonderful to talk with him about practice, flutes, studies, languages, retreats and of course sewing!  
• The hour just flew by.
• Shakuhachi
• Practice the Ha Ro couplet over, and over, and over and over again.  
• As I move up the register it get's easier, but that Ro is really difficult for me.
• Started to play Choshi straight through without getting stuck and noticed it sounded better when I didn't overthink it.
• Evening Zazen (30m @ 21:00)
• Sat solo and without G+
• Tried to get my Android tablet to show the video and join Ron but didn't work as I think Ron was already done.
