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:

10am Japan Saturday morning, NY 8pm, LA 5pm Friday night, London 1am and Paris 2am Saturday morning, or any time thereafter here:

We normally anchor the Friday Zazenkai to 10am Japan time.

This means that US folks (and other people who have had a time-change) will move forward by an hour since last week. So unless Jundo says otherwise, assume the Zazenkai will be at 9pm eastern / NY (this is what the calendar shows).

Jundo can you verify once you are up and about?

Oh, yes, forgot DAYLIGHT SAVINGS!

I do hope that they do away with that soon, finally.

A Zen fellow can transcend time, but can't beat the clock! (A Koan)

So ... DO REMEMBER DAYLIGHT SAVINGS, WHICH HAS CHANGED IN NORTH AMERICA,
not yet in Europe!! (Australians and NZ, you are on your own! )

Thank you all for your practice. Wonderful talk!
Any mention of The Godfather brings this to mind:

It was wonderful coming together for zazenkai—and for the movie discussion after. I still stand by Godfather II > I, but they're both masterpieces.

I will admit I find them equally entertaining, under different conditions. I thought Clemenza was a hoot.

It was a sincere pleasure to sit with you all. Afterward, I watched the finale of Star Trek: Discovery... with someone I love.

Thank you everyone. I sat with you this morning.

For anyone catching the recording there are a few glitches (non-glitches) at the beginning
