I'm about to hop in my TARDIS and do a little time traveling to an earlier time and date for this weeks Zazenkai. I've got my coordinates set for Feb 13th 2010(before my time here!). This one stands out for me because nobody seems to have sat this one . At least that's what I gather considering there are no comments from any sitters.
NOTE: Due to surprise circumstance (i.e., life), today's 11/5 sit will have to be a recorded re-sit of a prior week. Please sit-a-long. OUR MONTHLY 4-HOUR ZAZENKAI HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED TO 11/12. ALSO, NOTE DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME CHANGE IN EUROPE!
Hello All,
Please 'sit-a-long' with our weekly FRIDAY/SATURDAY 'LIVE FROM TREELEAF' 90 minute ZAZENKAI, netcast LIVE from 9am Japan time Saturday morning (that is New York 8pm, Los Angeles 5pm (Friday night), London midnight and Paris 1am (early Saturday morning)
... and to be visible at the following link during those times ...

But FEAR NOT if not possible for you to join 'live' in your location at those times, as the entire sitting is recorded in 'REAL TIME' and available for full participation 'on demand' at any time after that, no different from the 'live' sitting :
