    Zazen with Jiken (M-Th)

    Hello all,

    I'm starting a morning zazen practice period on Monday Feb 29. It will be 4am PST Monday through Thursday and last approximately 25 min. Perhaps those across the pond could join for lunch. All are welcome.

    If you have have any questions feel free to PM

    Gassho,

    Wonderful.

    I want to emphasize that this is "Lunchtime in London" ... direct from California at 4am (because Jiken is an early riser!). It is also still lunchtime in Paris too, because those folks tend to take all afternoon for lunch.

    Gassho, Jundo

            People get up at 4 am in California?

            Thanks for providing another opportunity.

              Thank you, Jiken.

              Zazen at lunchtime would be another good opportunity.
              Since my lunch hours are flexible and never fixed I may join in once in
              awhile before having my bowl of 'borscht'.

                      Jiken,

                      That's great! I won't be able to join since that's when I have to get the kids ready for school, but you never know. I might drop in once and awhile.

                      Jiken (and Jundo) make an excellent point and I have been wondering if I should drop the "Evening" label from my sits. "Zazen with Dosho" may be sufficient, but I was wondering if anyone had a better thought.

                        Hi Dosho,

                        Based on our sangha's worldly reach and timezones I decided against being specific and went with the limitless lol

                        Gassho,

                            Jiken,

                            Yeah, I think "Zazen with..." is the best way to go like you did. Still open to suggestions though. Whatever will get folks on the cushion!

                              Most days I am commuting to work at that time, but I probably can make this occasionally when I have a day off... are you going to send Google invites?
