    Traditionally, October 5th is the Memorial Day for Bodhidharma (達磨忌 Daruma-ki) in Soto Zen

    Dear All,

    Please sit our Treeleaf Zazenkai for 90 minutes with Zazen, Heart Sutra and more:

    10am Japan Saturday morning, NY 9pm, LA 6pm Friday night, London 2am and Paris 3am Saturday morning, or any time thereafter here:




    Join live (with or without a camera & microphone) on Zoom at: TREELEAF Now OR at DIRECT ZOOM LINK, password (if needed): dogen

    Gassho, Jundo

    SatTodayLah



    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:

    Sit-a-Long with Jundo: Zazen for Beginners (12) - Basic Zendo Decorum At Home
    Some basic decorum and procedures for entering and sitting in your Zendo at home. Also, some instructions on Kinhin "Walking Zazen". Yuriko the cat stops by to help us too. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJ3LvIzX0I0 Remember: recording ends soon after the beginning bells; a sitting time of 15 minutes to 35

      Thank you.
      Will sit as always with the recording, because of the timezone.
      But this old guy is already waiting for me.

        Hi all,

        I'm not really sure why we could not live-stream last Friday. I've re-synced the zoom and youtube accounts, so hopefully it will work. But if not, Jundo or I will post a recording after the Zazenkai.

        See you all soon!

        Gassho,
        Sekishi

          It looks like it worked this week! Anyone who wants to join one-way via youtube, the embedded video at the top of the thread should work at the top of the hour.

            Thanks, Bodhidharma, for the zazen and the tea.
