Thank you for making my world a better place with a moment of stillness for 5 minutes...and afterwards too hopefully! Far better than not making an effort to meditate due to the "busi"-ness of life (or more like simply, the busi-ness in my head). Til next time. Namaste Doris
Thank you so much for each and everyone of thee videos, these keep me in great spirits and give me a place to go since i an not go to my usually zendo due to the Covid-19 2020 situation. I find that the 15-30 minute is my favorite to sit, be still, and contemplate nothing ie. enlightenment, everything... however the five minute meditation was great because this morning I thought im running too late and then i said I can do five minute of zen meditation this morning. It is totally worth it, anyway sorry for the long post, just wanted to say Ive see many Zen/Zendo meditations online over the years and this one is fantastic, it has just the right amount of technology without having to much extra stuff, it sure zen, for it is simple elegant, and the bells at the beginning and end are the only thing that one can hear which is exactly how my Zendo was in San Antonio and also later in my favorite Zendo up t date Austin Texas. I hope to go to one of the San Francisco locations, either the original in downtown near Mission St. or the two other lotions that are kind of like retreats/farms, although the one in the city sees beautiful in practice since right next door to downtown San Francisco and the poor in that city are just outside the front door which any down on their luck. I became a layperson back in 2011. My name is C. Thank you for your kindness and peace and light to you as this always to me feel's like it would be a koan in and of itself. If anyone know if they are going to let people visit the SFran Downtown location or the other two in the near future please let me know, I have been involved in meditation since 2002, and officially became a Buddhist layperson.
Hi C, thanks for your kind words and sorry for delayed response. And I'm glad these videos help you with your meditation! I don't know anyone at SF Zen Center, but I would just check their web site, or sign up with their email list to see when they will sit in person. We do a Zoom sesshins, and weekly sittings and that works great too.
To whom it may concern. I really appreciate this. They say do something 30 times to make it habit. I have done so far 8 of your 10 minutes meditations and this is my first five. Everything inside of me attempting to distract me. Knees, posture and thoughts. But I sit and observe the phantoms till they disappear. This is become my retreat
I haven't meditated in awhile and this was a good amount of time, I'll probably use this timer more often.
Glad to hear Bear!
God bless you
Thanks Sajeda, you too!
What a good meditation, excellent to get into a deeper meditation or just to start your day 🕉
Thanks San!

Exactly what I need to get back into meditating :-)
It's good, when I'm late for work already :)

I haven't meditated for a good long while. This is great, really helped me get back into the right place, and a good place to build from too.
Woooah that exactly what i want 💗💗
Loved this; simple and deep.
Thanks
