Birthdays within Birthdays!
All of our Individual Birthdays within Treeleaf Sangha's 10th Birthday Zazenathon within Buddha's Birthday!
There is so much to celebrate this year that Jundo is celebrating in a BIG WAY with a 10-hour sit within our Zazenathon!
DON'T WORRY, YOU CAN SIT FOR ONLY 15 MINUTES! It is EASY, NO WORRY, and FUN!
If you haven't joined in Treeleaf's 10th Anniversary Zazenathon celebration yet, don't miss this! April 7 and April 8!
Buddha's celebrated birthday, known as Vesak (pronounced way-sak) or Visakha, has different dates in different countries, but April 8 is the date celebrated in Japan and the United States. All over the world, Vesak celebrations are a time for the rededication of one's commitment to the Buddha's teachings and to practice. In the United States, Vesak has also become the occasion for a common celebration that unites different Buddhist traditions and schools, Asian and non-Asian, immigrant and convert, Theravadin and Mahayana. So, it is fitting that we celebrate Treeleaf's Birthday and Buddha's Birthday during our Zazenathon!
As Jundo says, sometimes you sit short and sometimes you sit long. Please SIT SHORT with us and help us celebrate! Jundo will do the heavy lifting and sit big, but he could use a little help!
There are THREE EASY ways to participate!
1. Sit an extra 15 minutes and post on the Day's thread as usual!
2. Sit a while with Jundo on the Google+ hangout by just clicking the link in his post above! https://plus.google.com/events/c7h7a...a166nnpca25n1g
3. Sit with Jundo on Insight Timer.

May both celebrations ignite our commitment to one another, the Sangha, the Dharma, and Buddha!

each hour. I am planning for 10 hours. Why 10 hours, besides that this is the 10th Anniversary? No reason. Why not 10 hours? Zazen is not a matter of long or short ... and one moment of Zazen contains all time they say. However, long Zazen is good sometimes too. No better way to celebrate Buddha's Birthday and a Treeleaf Anniversary than Just Sitting!
