    May 4th-5th Treeleaf Weekly Zazenkai

    Jundo Note: BECAUSE OF OUR SPECIAL ZAZENKAI with ED ESPE BROWN TOMORROW (LINK), AND A PERSONAL COMMITMENT, THERE WILL BE NO "4-HOUR MONTHLY ZAZENKAI" THIS MONTH. INSTEAD, WE WILL HAVE A 90 MINUTE ZAZENKAI today. Thank you.

    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 VERSE OF ATONEMENT & FOUR VOWS


    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

      Be there. Heads up, new sitting room and different cammera so there are special lighting effects as Shingen pointed out on our sit together last night. Just think of it as the Shugen effect for those who have experienced it

        It was awesome ... like a Zen version of Ansel Adams! It was very majestic. =)

            Hoping to get back into the Zazenkai "habit" again this weekend after my sojourn. On demand as always.

                  Thank you, Jundo, Kyonin, and everyone. I will be there two-way, tech permitting. Looking forward to seeing the "Shugen Effect!"

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

                    I'll be there in spirit tonight. Leaving at 530 in the morning to go mountain climbing. I'll be "sitting along" when I'm back tomorrow.

                    Gassho,

                      I have to end a little early so will sit one-way tonight.
                      Maybe “Shugen light“ will become a trend!
