    Tonglen Practice Circle schedule

    Hello all

    It is my intention to run the Tonglen Practice Circle (TPC) monthly on the final Sunday of each month in the normal CoffeeHouse slot - 20.00 UK time, 15.00 EST. I know this is not ideal for many but an evening time which would probably suit most sangha members in north and central America would result in a late night or very early morning for me.

    Would a weekend morning suit members better?

    With all else remaining equal, the first TPC session will be on Sunday 30 July @20.00 BST (British Summer Time) and 15.00 EST.

    With thanks and deep bows

    Kokuu,

    thank you for starting this.

    As this will be 21:00 for me, could you give a time how long the practice is supposed to take?

    And will this be in the Treeleaf now scheduled sitting room?

    I'm looking forward to this.

      Hi Jika

      I imagine it will only be 30-40 minutes. Maybe I should make it an hour earlier if it helps those in continental Europe and doesn't make it harder for north and central American members?

        A 2000 CET start would be more beneficial. I would gladly can my nightly guitar practice for this. 2100 is just a little too late and the time I sit down with my wife for the evening.

          Hi Kokuu,

          20.00 UK is 22.00 EET which is a little late for me (that's why I always fail to participate in our Coffee house)
          If it's possible, an hour earlier would be great. Thank you.

            Is this still set for 2000 UK (GMT+1) this Sunday, or have you amended the start time ? Family is here for their hols later tonight for 4 weeks, which may allow me to join after all, as the "girls" will probably be romcom'in and I'll be looking for a way out !

              Hi Seishin-Do

              Sorry for taking time to reply. Yes, it is still set for 20.00 UK time tomorrow.

              You are more than welcome to be a rom com refugee!
