    Recruiting: Ino/Doan for our Weekly and Monthly Zazenkai

    NOTE: I BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE ENOUGH FOLKS FOR OUR NEW TEAM FOR NOW, BUT I MAY INVITE MORE FOLKS SOMETIME LATER. THANK YOU ALL, AND THANK YOU TO ALL WHO VOLUNTEERED!

    Dear All,

    I am wondering if anyone who is a regular attendee at our weekly and monthly Treeleaf Zazenkai ...



    ... would like to be on the Ino/Doan Team? It would really be helpful, and good practice for anyone interested. The Ino is the person who recites the Chants and Dedications, and the Doan is the person who rings the bells and strikes the drums while doing so ... but since that is usually the same person in our Sangha, we say "Ino/Doan."

    It would be a big help. Also, it is a joyful experience and not so hard.

    We are very forgiving of miscues as someone learns, one can read the words and cues, and it is not so hard. ANYONE might try! All Sangha members welcome.

    If you are a regular at our Zazenkai, you are already familiar with the content. The monthly ceremony is a bit longer, but you'll get the hang. We even forgive terrible singing voices!

    Why not give it a try?

    As I said, we could really use a few folks on a rotating "Ino/Doan Team!" Let's hear those tenors and baritones!

    If you are interested, either post in this thread or PM me (Jundo).

    You can put it on your resume!

    Gassho, Jundo

                      Ah, you would have to learn to chant our way in English, and ring bells our way. Soto-shu way is all wrong!

                      Better said: Japanese monastery way is right in Japanese monastery, Treeleaf way is right at Treeleaf.

                              PM me. You are hired.

                              The weekly service is in English.

                              The monthly service has some Japanese, but we have a fun pronunciation guide ...

                              Hi Guys, The following is my slightly irreverent Heart Sutra pronunciation guide. I have seen something like it available in Japan, but not in English. Here is how it works: I will take ordinary English words that sound as close as possible to stand for each of the following. For example: Shin = Shin (of the leg) Disregard


                              ... and, anyway, based on my experiences having sat with any number of western Zen groups, it is okay if one pronounces the Hannya Shingyo with a Boston, Texas or French accent. No problem.

                              I remember one group where "Kanjizai Bosatsu" sounded like "Angie's eye botox." (That was in Boca Raton, so there was a lot of Botox of the eyes.)
