    September 13-14th Weekly Zazenkai - BIG is small, small is BIG

    Dear All,
    .
    Please sit our Treeleaf Zazenkai for 90 minutes with Zazen, Heart Sutra and more. We meet virtually in our Zoom Scheduled Sitting Room here:
    .
    JOIN ZOOM >>
    The password (if needed): << dogen >>

    For local times, please check the Practice Calendar here: TREELEAF NOW >> ( 10am Japan Saturday morning, NY 9pm, LA 6pm Friday night, London 2am and Paris 3am Saturday morning) or sit this Zazenkai any time thereafter here:
    .
    However, "one way" live sitters are encouraged to come into the Zoom sitting, and just leave the camera and microphone turned off.
    .
    00:00 – 00:15 CEREMONY (HEART SUTRA in English) and Dedication
    00:15 – 00:45 ZAZEN
    00:45 – 00:55 KINHIN
    00:55 – 01:25 ZAZEN
    01:25 – 01:30 VERSE OF ATONEMENT & FOUR VOWS
    01:30 - 01:45(?) Informal Tea Time (All Welcome)
    .
    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!
    .

    PS - There is no "wrong" or "right" in Zazen ... yet here is a little explanation of the "right" times to Bow (A Koan) ...
    .

    Chant Book is here for those who wish to join in: CHANT BOOK LINK
    .
    The other video I mention on Zendo decorum is this one, from our "Always Beginners" video Series:
    .




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

            Good morning! I sat Zazenkai just now and Thank you all for sitting with me! Great talk Jundo! I’m a little into that “weird” stuff as you know!
            Now I’m off to Maine to look for Bigfoot… or is it smallfoot?

                  Hi everyone I sat with you yesterday from the manifestation of today and it was joyous. Thanks Jundo for the chat, as anyone who knows me will attest it espoused one of my favourite aspects of the practice and indeed zen. So thank you once again.

                  Gassho,

                    Hi everyone. I just sat with you now...and couldn't be any other way, anyway. Thanks for your beginningless, timeless practice.

                        Thank you for this week's teaching. I saw the recording. I couldn't do live as I was at a Herbie Hancock concert! The more I am doing Zazen during this Ango , the more experiential "knowing" there is. Teacher, your talks are guiding me to this.

                        Gassho,

                          I sat the first part this morning, thank you all for making this possible.

                          Bion - great bell-work.

                          Karen - I enjoyed your cat enjoying the heart sutra.
