Hello everyone,
right with the beginning of this year's Ango, we will start offering a Sunday Zazenkai, meant to cater mainly to all of us located in Europe, who can´t really join the Friday Zazenkai live. We will meet on European mornings at 9:30 am Central European Time (8:30 UK / 10:30 Ukraine), but of course, this is open to everyone.
For your local time please have a look at our Practice Calendar: TREELEAF NOW >>
For 75 minutes, we will meet in the Treeleaf Now Scheduled Sitting Room: JOIN ZOOM >>
The password (if needed): << dogen >>
If you don't feel comfortable with being seen on screen, be assured that it is totally fine to join with camera and microphone turned off.
Here is the Chant Book for those who wish to join in: CHANT BOOK LINK (we follow the weekly Zazenkai Chants)
ATTENTION: Everyone, when rising for Kinhin or Ceremonies after Zazen, get up slowly, don't rush, hold something stable, you won't be "late", so TAKE YOUR TIME! Make sure you are careful getting up!
We are looking forward to sitting with you!
Deep bows,
Bion and Kotei sat/lah today.
PS - There is no "wrong" or "right" in Zazen ... yet here is a little explanation of the "right" times to Bow (A Koan) ...
The other video where Jundo mentions Zendo decorum is this one, from our "Always Beginners" video Series:
Sit-a-Long with Jundo: Zazen for Beginners (12) - Basic Zendo Decorum At Home

We also recommend a little Talk on why small rituals and procedures are so cherished in the Zendo:
