    (European) Morning Sit

    Hi all,

    I wrote this in the ango commitment thread already, but following Andoitz' example I'm also posting a new thread here.
    Starting this saturday, September 10, I will be sitting through G+ every morning at 6:30 (Amsterdam time) for 40 minutes and you are all welcome to join me.

    Just a simple, single sit, if you don't want to sit for 40 minutes just leave when you're done

    Exception
    On Monday mornings I'm running the local morning sitting group which starts at 7:00 am
    I'll be putting that on G+ too, starting next week. You are welcome to join in there too, but the program is slightly different:

    25 mins. zazen
    ±5 mins. kinhin
    25 mins. zazen
    Chanting the Heart Sutra (japanese version)

    There is a rare chance that my family situation requires a change of schedule, in that case I will post it to G+ in advance.

    If you want to be on the invite list, PM me your G+ address and I'll add you


    Thank you for your practise

            Hi Ongen,

            thank you for doing this.

            As usual, I am confused with time zones.
            I thought the Netherlands were on CEST (UTC+2) now, switching back to UTC+1 the last weekend in October?
            Or have you done some adaptation and you are going to sit 6:30+1 anyway (5:30 now, 6:30 from end of October)??

            Need to know for my planning, when to catch the bus etc., sorry...

            Please send me an invite.

              Hi Ongen,

              Please add me to the list.
              While I sit at different times every day, I might be able to drop in once in a while.

              Thank you for offering this!

              Gassho,

              Daitetsu

                  Hi Jika,

                  I am talking about Amsterdam Time here. I am slightly clueless regarding timezones, it's all chinese to me really.
                  I doublechecked and indeed currently Amsterdam is on UTC +2

                  WHY did we ever invent time?

                    Ho Ongen,
                    To keep track of this issue and make sure what time everybody is talking about, I have I installed three extra clocks on my phone. Still sometimes mix up things. ⌚😕

                        Hi all,

                        Please note that my local zen group's morning sit changed from Tuesday to Monday.

                        So from now on the schedule is:

                        Mo: 7 am - 8:10 am (2x 25 mins zazen, kinhin, heart sutra)
                        Tue - Sun: 6:30am 40 mins zazen

                        Thanks

                              Hi Ongen,

                              Is this taking place yet ? Lately I see no events, get no invites, no nothing.
                              Anyhow I keep sitting my 'morning portion' as usual.
                              Fortunately, zazen isn't dependant on any sort of technology..

                              Thank you for all your efforts.
