    May 28th-29th Treeleaf Weekly Zazenkai - LIVE from (a cheap flat in) VEGAS

    JUNDO - Please join me from (our budget apartment in) BEAUTIFUL LAS VEGAS, NEVADA ... SIN CITY!
    The internet connection is a little unstable, so if you loose me, THE INO IS IN CHARGE!

    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:


    However, "one way" live sitters are encouraged to come into the Zoom sitting, and just leave the camera and microphone turned off: Join live (with or without a camera & microphone) on Zoom at: TREELEAF Now OR at DIRECT ZOOM LINK, password (if needed): dogen

    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)

    Gassho, Jundo

    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:

    See you all later!! Jundo, let’s hope that 5G in the first dose of the vaccine does its job and allows you to enjoy a stable connection tonight! [emoji1]

      Thank you, Sekishi, Jakuden, Jundo, and everyone. It was a lovely zazenkai and talk, although I was pulled away to let a cat out of the rain and to give him food. Have a great weekend!

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

        Thank you everyone!! So good to sit with my Sangha. Apologies for the last minute scramble to set up, when Jundo showed up I figured I was off the hook [emoji23]

          It was a lovely sit, and so nice to have others do the driving today.

                        Live from Vegas! That was great. Nice job Sekishi and Jakuden.

                        Loved the talk too.

                          Thanks…like you Jundo I work to be home/centered where I am but the rocks and lizards feel more like home. Can’t shake it.

                          Be safe
