Thursday Evening Zazen

[Genshin]

A bit late, but happy anniversary, Hans!

Gassho,

Hello dear friends,

thank you for all your messages. Sadly it seems that tonight's sit-in won't hapen because my boss just told me that we'll have dinner with customers of ours. Sorry for this, but it seemed like I could do the sitting before dinner (broadcasting live from my office in this case)...but the times changed a few minutes ago.

I'll be on holiday over the next two weeks, so I won't have a lot of internet access, but I WILL take some nice photographs of the German baltic coast which I will share with you.

Gassho and thank you for understanding,


Hans Chudo Mongen

Hans, maybe you should work out some system where someone covers the sitting if you are called away?

Gassho, J

Hi Guys,

I don't mind spinning up a hangout at around 8PM to host the usual zazen. I tend to sit around that time in the evening anyhow. Let me know.

Hello folks,

gosh the last six weeks were and are unusually busy for me (and tonight I am sitting in a hotel in the Netherlands, where I don't know how fast the internet connection will be). If you don't see me online, by all means please sit nevertheless. Rest assured that the next months will be less busy for me on Thursdays and that it seems that I will be able to continue the Thursdays in the usual way. Please accept my apologies for not making every Thursday especially in the last few weeks, however work is sadly very often work and Germany is not where it should be in terms of Wi-Fi etc.

In case Matt is around tonight, I'll ask him to invite you others to a simple sit in Google+ instead.


Gassho and thank you all for your inspiring practise,


Hans Chudo Mongen

Perhaps we need a better way to hold these sittings.

Gassho, Jundo

[Taikyo]

I am always available for back up UK/Europe time.

[Genshin]

No problem. I'll create the usual G+ event unless David would like to host? All good.

EDIT: Event posted to G+. Regulars invited. Apologies if I've missed anyone.

Hello,

I am back home and can host the Zazen as usual, however for the first time ever, Google+ told me that I can't invite all the Treeleaf members to this event? Do any of you know whether there is a magical barrier once a certain number is crossed?

Anyhow, I will sit at 9PM German time tonight....it is really frustrating that Google seems to have changed something

Well, I will sit nevertheless! Please join me (in case I can make it work later on.....)

Hans,

I would be honored to attend tonight. Are you connecting and starting right away or is there time to say hi?
see you tonight.

[Genshin]

My zafu and I will be there too.

Hans,

That seems strange as I haven't heard about a limit. Do you invite people who are in your circles or do you invite the community? If it's former, try the latter. Otherwise I am perplexed.

When I hosted the Wednesday Zazen for Myozan some weeks back I had a similar issue. I was inviting the community. I got a message back saying too many users....

[Myoku]

Never had such an issue, neither with the community nor the circles, when starting a hangout. Maybe its just the "invite" (for the event) thats limited somehow, i never invited so far. So even when the invite _now_ does not work the hangout itself then should do fine and pop up in peoples stream.

Hello dear Myoku,

I did some research and it seems the problems might have to do with the brand new HD options. This was also the first time I encountered this problem of not being able to invite all members to the event, however when I went "live" it allowed me to invite everyone, but somehow people still weren't able to join the normal way. Hopefully they will fix their bugs swiftly.

Gassho,

Hans Chudo Mongen
