Re: re: Sitting Schedule

Good idea, Bill. We should probably list everything first in Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) and then in local time zones. I'll add a UTC clock to the sitting room page tonight. Note that UTC and GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) and Zulu Time are all basically the same thing.

So, see you tomorrow at Friday, March 28, 2008 at 15:00:00 UTC

Re: re: Sitting Schedule

I agree with Bill, and I like the idea of treeleaf time or timelessness. I am in the same boat since I work Monday thru Friday 0600 - 1700 EST it will be hard for me to make mid day sittings. But once again thanks Skye and Jundo for all your help. This is a very exciting time for all of us!

Gassho,

Re: re: Sitting Schedule

Would people be up to a opening ceremony and a little chanting before we sit, maybe a round of the Heart Sutra? I'd like to do that if I lead a sitting. And does everyone want to do two periods of Zazen with Kinhin, or just one period of Zazen? 30 Minutes each of Zazen? Again, let's start small and work up.

sounds good. I be down for just one 30 minute round for now with kinhin.

Hey Kev

I think that's actually the other way around. Right now it's 6:20am that's 10:20 pm your time, so 5:30pm would be 9:30 am your time.

Re: re: Sitting Schedule

Eventually, I would like to write a scheduling application where people could reserve blocks of time in the Sitting Room, with automatic time zone conversion. A built-in timer on the page would count down to session start and ring bells for start and end. Maybe email reminders, and support for recurring events. Plus lots of animated GIFs of dancing hamsters. Something like that, but that's down the road a bit. For now coordinating on the Forum seems to work fine.

Start small and work up = good

You are too cool. Thanks for all these neat toys.

Re: re: Sitting Schedule

Hello everyone,

Is this schedule valid for all the upcoming Saturdays? Where do we sit, in the "Sitting room"?
Would like to try that some time: so far I have been sitting with myself or the recorded video of Jundo sensei.

I.

PS Great idea with the time converter!
