    For some more information about Zendo etiquette at Treeleaf and to help you be more comfortable with joining the Zoom room, please have a look here:
    .

    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) ...
    .

    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:

              Sat offline. I kept up with everybody today, because I paused until I was ready to get up! Thank you for the Dharma talk and zazen.

              Gassho,
