    October 11-12th Weekly Zazenkai - Everything Fits

    .
    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:

      I am a novice priest-in-training. Anything that I say must not be considered as teaching
      and should be taken with a 'grain of salt'.

          Just sat with you all, thank you for sharing the Zazenkai together! Another fantastic talk Jundo, thank you! Hope you and Bion enjoyed your intimate tea session! (Laughed out loud at that part!) Hope you all have a great week! I’m going to get back to polishing the mirror…

                I am the mirror,
                You are the mirror as well.
                We are the mirror.

                  Thank you everyone. I sat with you this morning.

                  One of the fun aspects of Treeleaf. I sat listening to Jundo’s birds while listening to the rain on my window pane.

                    Thanks everyone, I sat with you all just now.

                    The mirror does not need polishing. Pretty convenient for a mirror!
