        Just signed up with the google doc link! I’ll likely be able to participate primarily through the forum but I hope to attend as many of the meetings as I can as well. Looking forward to it! Thanks Bion for facilitating!

          Fantastic, Jin! You do whatever's possible for you, and however you contribute, we'll happily take it and I hope you take away as much as possible from this too!

            Hello, all.

            Exactly one week from today, we begin our adventure with the new book! I am impressed with how many of you have signed up already for this group study.
            For those who have also signed up for email communication, I expect to send out a notification/remidner in the coming days.
            I am so excited! Have your books been delivered already?
            For anyone who might still want to join, have a look here: https://www.treeleaf.org/2025/12/boo...lotus-stories/

              Ready with book(s) but most importantly very open and receptive since the other time (years ago) that I first read it.
              Very happy for the upcoming exploration of this beautiful Sutra :-)

                A physical book would have been nice, but the delivery time was a bit long, so I went the digital route instead. All set and very much looking forward to starting together!

                I waited a bit before signing up via the form because it asks for the Dharma name right at the top — I thought I’d wait until after Jukai to keep things in good order

                  Oh, I went with digital too! Cheaper and easier to work with, to copy - paste from, etc..
                  Nice touch with the Dharma name on the sign-up! I dit notice

                          I just took at closer look at the schedule. Unfortunately I’ll have to miss the first two or three Zoom discussions as I am spending my Saturday afternoons volunteering.

                            Well, there's plenty others until August! Then you can include the volunteering experiences in your reflections and we'll all benefit from them! It's a win-win

                              I would also like to join the book club! I got a physical copy and am ready to go.

                              clouds gracefully floating up to the peaks,
                              the moonlight glitteringly flowing down mountain streams.​

                                Hi Bion!

                                Am I already registered for the book club? I already have a digital version of the book and also a physical copy of the complete Lotus Sutra!

                                Gasshô!
