108 prostrations

Today after work I did my first 108 prostrations set.

In a nutshell, you gassho, then get on your knees, elbows, and forehead, and lift your palms up. Lather, rinse, repeat 108 times.

I recorded it, but it took a solid half hour. So if I want to upload to youtube or similar, I'll have to do some pretty severe editing.

It required a real disciplined effort.

I counted prostrations on a 108-bead mala to simplify matters somewhat.

Then I took a shower & did two hours of zazen, kinhin, and chanting.
