BUMP: Seeking Zazen Hangout Host Volunteers - Would You Host A Weekly Zazen Sitting?

[Mp]

How and where do I announce that I won't be able to make it tomorrow night. I am in a wedding ceremony and was told that practice is tomorrow night. I prefer to let people know in advance when I am able.

Thank you!

Hey Hobbie,

Just make a post in the main Zazen section: http://www.treeleaf.org/forums/forum...-MORE-ZAZEN%21

Folks will understand if you are not able to make it .... have a good weeding ceremony. =)

Hi Rykiel,

We want new folks to be settled folks, so we are asking longer term members to lead these. Thank you anyway.

Also, please have a good Retreat in China. You may find some big differences between westernized Japanese Soto and Chinese Buddhism right now, but also much sameness. I like to say, "always exactly the same even when sometimes quite different." Please write and tell us about it when you come back.

Where will you be retreating in China?

Gassho, Jundo

hi Jundo!

like what they say in thailand..... "same same but different"


i will surely share the experience yes
it's actually a volunteer program to help out at the gu guanyin temple for the gingko tree's golden shower,
but i will be practicing the monastery way of life.
they said i could bring friends so let me know if you guys are interested.

Just wanted to thank all of the members that have offered to lead these sessions. Often the formal practices led by Jundo are too late for me and I never seem to cross paths with anyone in the FSR. A few of the sessions on the new calender work perfectly.

And you can still sit our weekly and monthly "official" Treeleaf Zazenkai, available anytime, putting aside all thoughts of time. They are recorded, but alive in the heart.

Ah, beautiful ginko tree!

A 1,400-year-old ginkgo tree in China has recently drawn thousands of people from all over the country. Golden leaves have been falling on the ground since mid-November, turning the temple’s ground into a yellow ocean. The ancient tree grows next to the Gu Guanyin Buddhist Temple in the Zhongnan Mountains and is a perfect celebration of autumn.

It's thought to be planted for Emperor Li Shimin, the founding father of the Tang Dynasty, ruling from 629 to 649

Gingko Biloba

The Gingko, that Eastern tree,
In my garden plot now grows.
In its leaf there seems to be
A secret that the wise man knows.

Is that leaf one and lonely?
In itself in two divided?
Is it two that have decided
To be seen as one leaf only?

To such questions I reply.
Do not my love songs say to you -
Should you ever wonder why
I sing, that I am one yet two?

Just want to let everyone know that the sitting this morning was cut short because of a sick baby. I didn't see anyone but just wanted to let you all know.

Hello Treeleafers,

Kindly note that following the summer schedule I'll need to refix the time
of my sits from current 7.00am to 6.00am EET (GMT+2).
Changes on the sitting calendar to follow.

Anyone interested welcome to join in.

Thank you for your Practice.
