Sunday Sit with Washin - September 8th, 2024

[Kotei]

Hello everyone,

It is wonderful sitting together for peace in this world, but I would love even more to write that our Sunday Sitting is not necessary any more.
But there is still no end in sight to the war in the Ukraine and so many other places around the world.
Led by our Washin from Odessa, we'll continue sitting for peace this coming Sunday.

You can check with the Treeleaf Practice Calendar for your local time, under the listing Sunday Sit (Zazen for Peace): https://www.treeleaf.org/now/#calendar

We meet in the Treeleaf Scheduled Sitting Room: https://www.treeleaf.org/now/go.php?l=ssr password if needed is << dogen >>

A livestream of the meeting can be found here:

The format of the sitting will be:

- Heart Sutra
- Zazen 40 minutes
- Verse of Atonement and the Four Vows

All are welcome. Please, join us! No prior experience is required - just follow along - come sit with us.

Gassho,

[Jundo]

I just saw this map today, just showing where place are, including Washin's home in Odesa, on the sea so close to the Russian controlled area. Peace to all.

I know that war is hell, I know that all weapons are terrible, I know that there is desperation ...

... and yet I mourn this too. I look forward to the day when we are beyond such horrors. I ask everyone to join me in sitting with such hope.
