Day 5 - Treeleaf 10th Anniversary Zazenathon

[Graceleejenkins]

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, TREELEAF!

oday, April 4/ April 5, starts Day 5 of our Zazenathon continuous sit in celebration!


I want to call your attention to some special additional sitting times you may want to add, if you have extra time today:

Today an old friend of Treeleaf, Myozan Kodo, now of Blue Moutain White Clouds Hermitage, will be sitting with us to honor Treeleaf's history and offer his best wishes! He will be sitting on Google+ and posting here, if technology works! If you want to sit along with him, Myozan is sitting 16:15-16:45 CDT

Also, Elgwyn (aka Tai Chi, Tai Shi, and Calm Poetry) is making a special effort to celebrate with everyone today. If you want to sit along with him, today is a good day, as his other sitting times are subject to change. He is sitting at 16:45-17:00 CDT and 17:30-18:00 CDT.

Both are sitting consecutively, isn't that a nice conincidence!

Good NOW everyone! ;-)

Gassho,
Kotei sat Zazenathon with you today.

[Gukan]

Less of a 'clouds with occasional glimpses of blue sky' meditation than a 'thick fog with occasional glimpses of cloud' meditation this morning, but I offer you my haze, dear Treeleaf, and wish you all peace of mind whatever the internal weather

Gassho,
Libby

Hello,

The experience of zazen is eternal. It’s the same for everyone. We touch the deepest experience of all human beings throughout history when we allow ourselves to be truly quiet. If all the countless Buddhas throughout space and time used all their infinite Buddha wisdom to try to calculate the merit of one person sitting zazen they couldn’t even come close.

Thank you Myosha, that's a good reminder.

[Myozan Kodo]

Dear Treeleafers,
I'd like to take this opportunity to wish you all well and to say Happy Birthday to the entire Sangha. I spent many formative years here. Thank you for those years. I hope you have a wonderful celebration, on this, your 10th anniversary.

Thank you for inviting me to sit with you today. I will sit on G+ and post the link in this forum shortly beforehand. I hope it will work. I haven't done this in some time. And even if the technology gets the better of me, I will be sitting with you in any case.

Thank you for your practice.

With palms together,
Myozan

[RichardH]

It is good to see you , Myozan.

Deep bows
