Dan:
I am also a Vet and new to Still Point and teach yoga and meditation at the
Butler VA (or was teaching until a few weeks ago). I have been practicing
meditation for 35+ years and yoga for about 5 years.

Hello to everyone. My Name is Dan McCullough. I don't think anyone really knows
me at Still Point. I have called a couple of times. I have been studying
Buddhism and Meditation. Since I was 16 in 1976. I'm a disabled Veteran. I
volunteer at the VA hospital. I teach mindfulness and meditation.
Hopefully when this is over and things work out. I can make it to some of the
meeting.

Hi all,
One interesting side effect of the pandemic has been the opportunity to "sit"
with various American Zen communities as bring their services online. Below are
five that I am aware of, if anyone is interested in observing/remotely sitting
with other groups:
- Deep Spring Temple (i.e., Zen Center of Pittsburgh:
https://deepspringzen.org/ ;)
- Boundless Way Temple (MA, https://worcesterzen.org/ ;)
- Zen Mountain Monastery (NY, Lineage: Taizan Maezumi / John Daido Loori:
https://livestream.com/mro ;)
- San Francisco Zen Center (CA, Lineage: Shunryu Suzuki:
https://www.sfzc.org/online-programs ;)
- Angel City Zen Center (CA, Lineage: Gudo Nishijima / Brad Warner:
https://www.aczc.org/ ;)
I've also attached a picture of a Buddha I made in 7th grade ceramics I
recently re-discovered. I think it reminds me to be humble, ha. (But also that
a clay Buddha can indeed pass through water as long as it has first been fired
in the kiln ... which is a metaphor for ... adaptability and ... the
cultivation of resilience in trying times. Uh yeah, that's it. I'm sure that's
what I was going for.)
Hope everyone remains well,
- Daniel
