    I actually have an answer for you both now, having checked with Jundo. You can simply catch up on the dharma talks from Fridays and include the metta practice and dance from the Monthly into your schedule somehow, but attend the Sunday morning zazenkai for the group sitting and ceremony. That would be perfectly acceptable. Does that sound good?
    Thank you both for being a part of the zazenkai!

    It sounds perfect.
    Thanks!

      Friends, this your reminder that a new weekly zazenkai is coming up, on Sunday morning, for us in Europe and other time zones this work well for. This week, our Heart Sutra is in English again! I cannot wait to see you all and for us to practice together!

          Thank you everyone for an amazing zazenkai!

          Sorry for not joining you later for tea (it's still a bit scary for me ...)

              Here´s your reminder than today, we get together for zazenkai. If you are in Europe, Australia, New Zealand or Asia, this might be a good time for you! We sit two periods of zazen, do a bit of kinhin and end with short ceremony ! Everyone is invited and welcome! Please check the top post for all the details!

                    Dear friends, tomorrow morning, we meet for our usual Sunday Zazenkai, and to remain in tune with our Friday Monthly Zazenkai, we chant together the Maka Hannya Haramita Shingyo and the Sandokai (Identity of Relative and Absolute). See you all in the morning!

                            I missed the zazenkai today, too many headaches (physical and mental), see you at the next one and at the meeting of Spanish speakers!

                              Looking forward to sitting live with you again, Gloria. In the meantime, sitting in/as the one wholeness, we are sitting together anyway.
