    ATTENTION:

    Our Zazenkai with Genki Roshi will begin about 9 hours from now, at the following times ...

    SUNDAY August 2: ZAZENKAI at Zen Garland - Starting New York 8am, Los Angeles 5am, London 1pm and Paris 2pm

    It will begin with Genki Roshi leading their Morning Service, followed by some periods of Zazen (I am not sure of the length of their sitting) and Kinhin, followed about 90 minutes after the start (about 9:30 New York Time) by a little Dharma Talk by me (Jundo), finishing I believe (?) about 10:30 New York Time.

    I would love to have a big Treeleaf Turnout at Google+ to Represent Us. Can you make it?


    The video link will be posted a few minutes prior to the Zazenkai start.

    Gassho, Jundo

    Looks like I will be seeing Gina, who sat for so long in Tsukuba with me (and now is doing some UN work) and Oheso/Richard ( from Brooklyn, said with the appropriate accent ) Friday evening for a meal and a bit of Zazen in Central Park, NYC. (I need to leave early, as Leon and I have tickets to the Mostly Mozart at the Met). I think it unlikely that I will be able to netcast that sitting if we sit, but I will post some photos ... and you are all there in heart.

    After that, on the morning of Sunday August 3rd, New York time (I will try to announce the exact hour soon), our Daijo has arranged for me to spend the night and offer a small sitting and talk at the Sangha of White Plum Teacher Paul Genki Kahn in New Jersey, a Dharma Heir of Bernie Glassman and one of the folks at the forefront of Engaged Buddhism ...

    I believe that our start time for the Sitting and Talk with me will be about 9:30am, Sunday morning NYT for about an hour or so, however I am asking Genki if we can also netcast his groups Morning Chanting and Sitting which begins from 8am. I will report back when I hear.

    I had a lovely visit and a few moments of Zazen with Gina, our old regular at the Zazenkais in Tsukuba. She is now working at the UN as part of the delegation, alhough just a temporary internship. Wow, sounds exciting! She says "hi" to all.

    Richard/Oheso who was to join us suddenly was detained at work. He sat with us in spirit.

    Great picture - seem to remember Gina had a very nice voice when chanting.

    I have taught you well!

    Gassho,
    Dosho

    P.S. Here in New York (the state) you don't say New York when you are referring to the municipality, you say New York City.

    P.P.S. No one besides us cares.

    I sit in wonder at this energy.

    I just posted this to Facebook:

    "The last 96 hours have witnessed some of the most profound moments of my entire life and there is no way I could do any justice to a description of those events right now. I am so mentally spent that in every moment I am either falling asleep or on the verge of tears (happy ones!). To everyone who was a part of that, whether in the flesh or in my thoughts, a sincere and humble thanks to you all. From Jundo and Leon, to my Canadian friends, to my family, to my sangha, and even to the toll takers and wait staff: Thank you all SO MUCH for being a part of it. If you have even the slightest idea of what I am writing about, trust me, you were a part of that experience. Truly, from the bottom of my heart, I love you all."

    I dropped Jundo and Leon off at the train station this morning in a light rain before dawn. I don't know whether Jundo was just in a hurry or he found it as hard as I did to say goodbye, but if it had been any longer I would have started crying like a baby.

    I truly do love you all and want you to know, with no exaggeration, you have saved my life.

    In the coming days I will try to put more words to this experience, but for now that's all I can muster.

    Deep bows.

    Gassho,
    Dosho
