Hi,

I am in downtown Tokyo, but my attempt to do the netcast (I found out only after non-doing today’s sitting) cut after 9 seconds. Oh well.

As I do not have my power cord, I cannot recharge my batteries. Oh well.

Battery charging by projecting my ‘ki’ is not one of my magic powers. Oh well.

Until I can recharge, please make do with this super-short sitting.

I did the sitting for about 30 minutes. So, since 9 seconds x 200 = 30 minutes … if you just replay the sitting 200 times … same effect.

Or, if you take the 9 seconds as a symbolic 30 minutes … same effect.

By the way, 9 goes into 108 (a ‘Sacred’ number in Buddhism) 12 times … which happens to be the number of links in the Chain of Dependent Origination.

Although I don’t know what … that MUST mean something! 🙂

What I do know for sure, anyway, is that ‘long’ time and ‘short’ time are all ideas of the human mind. Drop those, and there is no ‘long’ and ‘short’.

If I can get my recharge, I will see you later today … if not, tomorrow. Gassho.
