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

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) ...

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:

Thanks to all for your practice. I’m feeling very human today, irritable and suffering with a severe back spasm. Much gratitude for Jundo’s talk.

So glad to have Zazenkai to look forward to every Saturday morning with you guys. It's quite easy to say but Treeleaf is helping me a lot, even though I'm still far from perfect. Thanks everyone.
