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

ATTENTION: Everyone, when rising for Kinhin or Ceremonies after Zazen, get up slowly, don't rush, hold something stable, you won't be "late," so TAKE YOUR TIME! Make sure you are careful getting up!

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:

I was looking forward to this tonight, but I was asked to attend an old friends wedding. I thought I would be back in time, but with the time change may not be able to do so. If I do, I will join late, if not I will be with you all On Demand tomorrow.

With Joined Palms,

(PS: Jundo, might wanna rethink Dōg-coin... bit too close to Doge methinks... but like the idea!)

[Kiri]

Thank you everyone!

One of my instructors in the beginning of this semester (I study economics) said that if we were all to go to heaven or achieve nirvana like, there would be no economy. In heaven every need would be satisfied, and in nirvana there would be no need at all (he just wanted to point out that demand and supply are in the core of modern economics). I wonder what would he say if I mentioned zen-conomics
