    August 28th, 2010 Saturday Zazenkai ANGO KICKOFF !!

    MARKING THE 'OFFICAL' START OF OUR TREELEAF 'ANGO' 100 DAY SPECIAL PRACTICE SEASON ...details on 'ANGO' here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2738

    Please 'sit-a-long' with our SATURDAY 'LIVE FROM TREELEAF' 90 minute ZAZENKAI... the entire sitting is recorded in 'REAL TIME' and available for full participation 'on demand' at any time no different from the 'live' sitting :

    'REAL TIME' recorded 'ANY TIME' version link is here:

    HOWEVER ... PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO SOME TECHNICAL ISSUES WITH THE RECORDING THIS WEEK, THE FOLLOWING IS A 'RE-SIT' OF LAST WEEK'S ZAZENKAI WITH TAIGU AND OUR VISITORS FROM FRANCE (well, that's a nice start to Ango too ... and sitting is sitting!)

    http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/8996866

    (That also means that we get to hear again that wonderful Heart Sutra recitation in Japanese by Taigu)

    OUR 90 MINUTE SITTING SCHEDULE IS AS FOLLOWS:


    00:00 – 00:15 CEREMONY (HEART SUTRA) and Dedication
    00:15 – 00:45 ZAZEN
    00:45 – 00:55 KINHIN
    00:55 – 01:25 ZAZEN
    01:25 – 01:30 FOUR VOWS, & VERSE OF ATONEMENT

    As you can see, our Zazenkai consists of chanting the 'Heart Sutra', some full floor prostrations in sets of three (please follow along with me ... or a simple Gassho can be substituted if you wish), followed by our Dedication, Zazen twice for 30 minutes each, with 10 minutes of Kinhin in between, and we end the sitting with 'The Verse of Atonement' and 'The Four Vows'.

    Please download and print out the words of the Chants we will recite at the following link:

    viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2231

    So, please join us as soon as you can, and we will keep a Zafu open for you.

    Remember, when we drop all thought of 'here' 'there' 'now' 'then' ... we are sitting all together!


    Gassho, Jundo

        Hmmm, I seem to be experiencing some "technical difficulties"

        I am trying to watch the livecast, and according to all of my calculations (it's currently 8:43 am Sat in NYC, etc), it should be going on currently? But it doesn't seem to be, and so I'm wondering if I'm doing this correctly.

        I think I'll just wait until the "anytime" cast is on and watch it then! Thanks, e-sangha 8)

        If anyone knows what I'm not doing properly to catch this live, please let me know.

        Until then, happy Ango everyone.

        Love.

        Gassho, Mandy

                    Hi all,
                    Great start to Ango. Thanks Jundo for another great Zazenkai ( signal fall out made no problems at all).

                          Well we did lose signal there for a while, but it was funny I could still feel everyone still just sitting. What a wonderful beginning for our Ango, very unauspisciously auspicious....glad I didn't wear my bells.

                          Gassho,

                              Thank you all for sitting ... nice to have such a crowd ...

                              PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO SOME TECHNICAL ISSUES WITH THE RECORDING THIS WEEK (we lost the signal for a moment), I HAVE HAD TO POST A 'RE-SIT' OF LAST WEEK'S ZAZENKAI WITH TAIGU AND OUR VISITORS FROM FRANCE (well, that's a nice start to Ango too ... and sitting is sitting!)

                              http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/8996866
