Sunday Weekly Zazenkai (European morning)

[Bion]

Join us for the second weekly zazenkai tomorrow morning (Euro time), the last one before we kick off Ango and we make some small changes to our schedule, to include a little discussion time. We'll announce more on that this week. If you're up for some zazen and a short ceremony, do join in! All details in the top post or here: WEEKLY ZAZENKAI>>

Hello everyone,

those of us attending the Sunday Zazenkai regularly already know...
At least for the duration of Ango, we will expand the time for our little talk and some discussion and Q&A afterwards, once a month.

Starting with this coming weekend, the first Sunday Zazenkai of a month will begin half an hour early at 9am Central European Time (instead of 9:30am).
The format will basically be the same, but instead of offering a little talk during the second period of Zazen, we will have it afterwards.
There will be some time for a discussion or Q&A, too.
If this doesn't work for you time wise, it is totally fine to come at the usual time or come just for sitting Zazen together.

This months talk will be close to the topic of Jundo's talk during the Monthly Zazenkai.
Not explicitly about 'The Eight Understandings of the Great Person', but about the Precepts, how they might be connected to Zazen, how this all fits into the noble eightfold path - and that will be about the Eight Understandings of the Great Person, too.

Looking forward to starting into Ango and the preparations for Jukai, to coming closer together for practicing, studying and growing together.
See you on Sunday!

Bows,
Kotei sat/lah today.

Holy cow I didn't realise it started at 9:00
I'm sorry I joined at 9:28 and I missed the first sitting
Thanks for the talk, I like this format a lot.

Hi all.A little bit late but just wanted to thank Kotei and Bion for the extended Zazenkai and everyone who sat together. The Dharma discussion was very interesting and I am sure subjects that will be discussed again. A great way to start this years Ango.

Thank you Bion. But I have to put from the room because my daughter just wake up. Time to baby sitting again. I think I will do the Zazenkai again offline tonight after my daughter sleep.

Thank you for coming and sitting together everyone.
I enjoyed our Ango discussion very much.

If you are a regular and couldn't be there today, fear not.
For fulfilling the Ango vow of attending a Zazenkai every week, we're recording during Ango to catch up.
You can find the recording to sit along or just listen to the talk and discussion here: Weekly Zazenkai >>

Gassho,
Kotei sat/lah today.

Thank you, everyone. I enjoy very much listening to your individual approaches and struggles. I think it helps me balance my own efforts and intentions. I am really glad that, as unsui, we have the privilege of being able to support your efforts and that we are in return supported by you. I learn from all of you each time
