I refreshed the scheduled-sitting-room via mobile and it appears to be open.

Thank you ... =)

And thank you Kokuu, that was lovely and well done! Holding the suffering of others can be hard, but it is a wonderful practice to able to offer such a gift. This is the same gift we give in Shikantaza where we just sit and accept all conditions of life just as they are.

Thank you all for being there. As it turned out I think the issue was mine. Firefox no longer supports hangouts, IE wouldn't download the neessary plug-in and I eventually realised I needed to load the plug-in for Chrome.

Thank you, Sekishi, if it needed to be opened your end.

Anyway, some glitches but now I know the form hopefully it will go better next time.

Deep bows to you all for sticking with me!

Thank you everyone. Wonderful.. even if I experienced a little difficulty to focus
on the visualization as my mind was scattered. I hope with practice it will get more
balanced. Nice evening to all.

Sorry I was unable to make it Kokuu, I was really going to try, but there were plumbing issues at both my house and practice today [emoji15] Does Tonglen help with water pressure and faulty valves!?

I entered with the link Jika provided--I could find no other, and it worked. Odd, don't you think?

Kokuu,
I'm still trying to find a link that will take me to the group that will work--tell me, if a group isn't scheduled for a Room, does that rome appear as am error, and is there a non-specific room and aside for ALL members?

I think you should still be able to get into a room even if there isn't a scheduled sitting. Sekishi was talking on the Modest Proposal thread about how to refresh the room by logging in and out again on a mobile device. I must admit I don't really know how it works completely yet but it might be worth asking him. It is still a new addition and the problems are being worked through I think.

Apologies for tuning into this thread so late, regretful I missed the date. I read the original link you provided with instructions and feel comfortable moving forward in making this a part of my daily practice. I do like that you gave some instructions for "on the go" as I was thinking Tonglen Practice could quietly used at work or in the car.

Will this be a weekly event?

Ps. Thank you for sharing this with our Sangha Kokuu

I'd really love to join in too, and actually if it's at that time, it might be possible for me. When will the circle be sitting again?

Hi Kyotai and Frankie

At the moment I am making it monthly but can do more regularly. It might end up being bi-weekly and alternating with the Coffee House.

The next session is scheduled for Sunday 27th August.
