            It´ll be my first time there!

            How can I be visible to you? I´ll have a laptop with camera recording me live.

              Although the last few zazenkai I have not seen anyone hosting a video hangout during that time.

                That's what I'll be doing tomorrow 6 am Philippine time (GMT + 8 hours). So if anyone can't sit today they can sit with me.

                EDIT: On second thought, make that 5:45 am Philippine time.

                Bows to those who are sitting today.

                  Actually, we can all arrange to meet this time on Google+. I can see that you Marcos have an account there.

                  So what you think?
                  Gassho,

                    I think it´ll be great, and I´m already "hanging out" there... in a few minutes Zazenkai will start.. here in Brazil it´ll be at friday´s nine o´clock pm.

                    We can talk a little after Zazenkai, what do you guys think?

                          This Zazenkai rocked!

                          I was able to catch the groove with a huge smile.

                          Thanks, Jundo.

                          Thanks to all who sat/will sit.

                              The dancing heart sutra made my day. Not being in a good mood, due to a cold, I found it was great to 'take it easy'
                              Thanks everyone
