O, Edgar,
If you were never taught there about the practice of Dana, then you were
cheated. I'd demand your Voided-check back if I were you.
You mean you only had to work in the Vegetable garden six hours a day on
their/your sesshin(s)?
If not, you'll have a big debt to pay to the benefactors in the hereafter, or
the underworld.
You could make this right if you make an offering now. Is anybody still alive,
there?
