    May 26th-27th Treeleaf Weekly Zazenkai

    Hello All,

    Please 'sit-a-long' with our weekly FRIDAY/SATURDAY 'LIVE FROM TREELEAF' 90 minute ZAZENKAI, netcast from 10am Japan time Saturday morning (that is New York 9pm, Los Angeles 6pm (Friday night), London 2am and Paris 3am (early Saturday morning)

    ... and to be visible on the following screen during those times and sit-a-long-able any time thereafter ...

    LIVE ZAZENKAI NETCAST IS HERE:
    CLICK ON THE TAB ON LOWER RIGHT FOR 'FULL SCREEN





    FOR THOSE NOT ALREADY MEMBERS OF THE CIRCLE WHO WISH TO JOIN TO SIT LIVE WITH A CAMERA, INSTRUCTIONS ARE POSTED AT THIS LINK. WE ARE NOW LIMITED TO 10 INDIVIDUALS WITH CAMERAS, BUT ANY NUMBER CAN WATCH LIVE 'ONE WAY' AND SIT-A-LONG VIA THE ABOVE SCREEN. IF JOINING WITH CAMERA, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR MICROPHONE IS MUTED:

    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 FOUR VOWS & VERSE OF ATONEMENT


    As you can see, our Zazenkai consists of chanting the 'Heart Sutra' in English (the words are at the link below), some full floor prostrations in sets of three (please follow along with me ... or a simple Gassho can be substituted if you wish), followed by our Dedication, Zazen twice for about 30 minutes each, with 10 minutes of Kinhin in between, and we end the sitting with 'The Verse of Atonement' and 'The Four Vows'.

    Please join us in the Chanting of the Heart Sutra (although please keep your microphone muted). You can download and print out the Chants we will recite at the following link (PDF):


    Chant Book (PDF)

    or

    Chant Book (SHORT VERSION HTML)

    Not everyone realizes that they can join in the Chanting of the Heart Sutra, Verse of Atonement and Four Vows (although we ask that you keep your microphone down). Please follow along with the Chant Book, and let your voice ring!

    So, please join us as soon as you can, and we will keep a Zafu open for you.

    Remember, when we drop all thought of 'here' 'there' 'now' 'then' ... we are sitting all together!


    Gassho, Jundo

        Kyonin, would you gift us with the Heart Sutra in Spanish today?

        If you have a version you recommend in Spanish, maybe link to it here?

          Hi Jundo,

          I'll be more than happy to chant El Sutra Del Corazón! Here is my translation of our Heart Sutra. It may seem a little longer, but Spanish is longer than English. I translated it as close as possible so it wouldn't get anything lost in translation.

          El Sutra de la Perfección de la Gran Sabiduría *
          Avalokiteshvara bodhisattva, quien despertó
          al Prajna Paramita, la Perfección de la Gran Sabiduría *
          Percibió el vacío de las Cinco Condiciones
          y se liberó del sufrimiento.
          O Shariputra, la forma equivale al vacío;
          el vacío equivale a la forma;
          la forma es precisamente el vacío, el vacío es precisamente la forma.
          Las sensaciones, percepciones, formaciones y consciencia también son así.
          O Shariputra, todas las cosas son expresiones del vacío,
          Nada nace, ni se destruye, nada se mancha, nada es puro;
          Nada se oculta, nada nace.
          Por eso el vacío no es la forma; no hay sensación, no hay percepción, no hay formación, no hay consciencia.
          No existen ojos, oído, nariz, lengua, cuerpo ni mente.
          No existen los sentidos de la vista, oído, olfato, gusto, tacto, ni objeto mental;
          No hay reino de la vista, no hay reino de la consciencia;
          No existe la ignorancia, no existe el fin a la ignorancia;
          No hay vejez ni muerte;
          No hay cesación de vejez ni muerte;
          No hay sufrimiento, no existe causa o fin para el sufrimiento;
          No hay camino, no hay sabiduría y nada qué ganar.
          Nada qué ganar, por ende los Bodhisattvas viven en Prajna Paramita*
          Sin ningún obstáculo mental-
          Sin obstáculos el miedo se va.
          Más allá del autoengaño, el Nirvana siempre ha estado aquí.
          Todos los Budas pasados y futuros
          Viven en Prajna Paramita*
          Y alcanzan la suprema y completa iluminación.
          Por eso entiende que Prajna Paramita
          es el mantra sagrado el mantra luminoso,
          el mantra supremo, el mantra incomparable
          con el que el sufrimiento se va
          Esto es la verdad
          Por ello entona el mantra de Prajna Paramita
          Canta este mantra y proclama *
          Gate Gate
          Paragate
          Parasamgate
          Bodhi! Suaka!
          Han Nya Shin Gyo * * *//

                  I have a lot to learn; take anything I say that sounds like teaching with a grain of salt.

                              Thank you Jundo, Kyonin and all.

                              Jundo, I can't chant the heart sutra in German, but I was raised speaking the language so I do know how to ask for some "very good brown bread" =)

                              Have a good weekend all.

                              Gassho,
