I'm planning to pop in as well.

Re: One day intensive sitting (February 4th)

Great initiative indeed. Thank you Myokan. Count on me for the morning part. Daddy-zazen-samu will start between 8:30 and 9:00 and goes on for the rest of the day.

Re: One day intensive sitting (February 4th)

This is fantastic. I'm in for at least the afternoon portion. Probably join you from around 11:00 GMT. Thanks for sharing your practice Myozan!

Some minor modifications for me. I will still join you around 11, but will have to cut out early for a shakuhachi retreat...but will be suizen-ing in spirit.

Gassho,

Re: One day intensive sitting (February 4th)

So glad we'll be sitting together. Fantastic!

Dokan, will you be around for Oryoki lunch? Anyone else planning on doing the Oryoki? Be great to share the chanting.

Also, after each Dharma talk we should have a short discussion.

Plan to post the final schedule in a few days time. Any changes will be minor.

And will post the chant in Pali too.

Gassho,

Re: One day intensive sitting (February 4th)

We can take turns leading the chant for the two Oryoki sessions?

I can do the morning one. Please indicate if I should,

Do we do the Heart Sutra in Japanese or English ?

Re: One day intensive sitting (February 4th)

Thank you Myozan!

I'll be attending most of the day! I'll have to do a samu out of home for two hours, but otherwise I'll be there!

My pc is a bit old and my connection isn't at the best, so maybe I'll have to do parts without receiving the live video... if it happens I'll just follow the schedule!

Have a nice day everyone,
deep gassho,
Jinyu

Re: One day intensive sitting (February 4th)

See you in the morning guys.
Peter: cool. Take the morning Oryoki chant. Great. And the Heart Sutra is in Japanese.
Jinyu: look forward to sitting with you too.
Deep bows.

Re: One day intensive sitting (February 4th)

It was a wonderful day's sitting. Deep bows to Peter Myoku (who sat a large portion of the day), Jinyu, Richard Shokai Maxwell, Chris Amirault, JR Brisson, Chris Armel and Shawn Dokan Edwards. Thank you for your practice. And thanks to Jundo for guidance in the preparation of today and my teacher Taigu, who offered an amazing new Dharma talk especially for this one day intensive. Many thanks.
Gassho,
Myozan

Re: One day intensive sitting (February 4th)

Many thanks to all sitting (chanting, samu-ing etc) , to Myozan making this happen and all involved. I was quite speechless after Taigu's talk, which is a good thing.

Re: One day intensive sitting (February 4th)

We went out of town for the weekend, I expected to use the mobile phone to access Google + but no Internet access finally, but I followed the first part offline, from 5:00 am to a little before seven, when my young but very bright zen teacher gave me a very simple Dharma talk: "Paaaapaaaa! Hooolaaaa!" (daaddy! Heelloooo!)

I missed you all, but then, in a sense, I felt like being together with you
