Continuing our series on Sitting in the City

on a commuter train today, lots of tired folks heading home from work …


… lost the netcast signal though after a couple of stations (oh well)

But a crowded train or bus is a great place to sit (or stand) Zazen …


… if you remember that good Buddhists give up their seat to little old ladies and the like, even if during Zazen.

Thisparticular train circles Tokyo in a big loop, round and round … back to where it starts …

No opening or closing bells for today … nothing to say … no particular time either, just a bit of Zazen between getting on and getting off …

Even if a working person, there are countless places and opportunities suitable for a moment of Zazen … even if hanging from a strap or on the move.


(remember: recording ends soon after the beginning bells;
a sitting time of 20 to 35 minutes is recommended)
