Re: Sharing Helpful and Insightful Tips (was The Tea Party)

Sorry I missed the gathering last Sunday. I had a paper due and I had to study for two exams. Hopefully, I will talk to everyone this Sunday.

Re: Sharing Helpful and Insightful Tips (was The Tea Party)

I would like to participate, but what keeps me from doing so is my current level of internet connectivity and where I happen to be. I just wanted to let you guys know that I would be there if I could be there. Of course, I am "there," but not in the most useful of senses.

Treeleaf Book :?:

I knew someone was going to ask. :lol:

During our small gathering, I believe I brought up the desire to see our Zazenkai and tea party sutras and chants compiled into an easy to follow PDF that could be printed. Just a repackaged resource.

Like the Treeleaf Zen Retreat handbook or something different?
