    May 26th, 2012 Treeleaf Weekly Zazenkai ... with Sada

    Hello All,

    MINA IS AWAY FOR AN AI-KI-DO EVENT, SO I BRING OUR 1 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, SADA, TO CHANTING AND ZAZEN TODAY ... SMOOTHLY COMBINING ROLES AS ZAZEN LEADER AND "DAD". EASY AS CHILD'S PLAY! ALL JUST ZAZEN!

    TODAY'S "BABY" SITTING WILL BE ABBREVIATED ... TO OUR HEART SUTRA RECITATION, ONE PERIOD OF ZAZEN, A SHORT KINHIN, AND THE VERSE OF ATONEMENT/FOUR VOWS ...

    PLEASE SIT AN ADDITIONAL PERIOD OF ZAZEN ON YOUR OWN TODAY.


    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 1am and Paris 2am (early Saturday morning)

    ... and to be visible at the following link during those times ...

    LIVE ZAZENKAI NETCAST at JUSTIN.TV:
    CLICK ON THE TAB ON LOWER RIGHT FOR 'FULL SCREEN

    http://www.justin.tv/treeleafzen

    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 :

    'REAL TIME' recorded 'ANY TIME' version link is here:
    CLICK ON THE TAB ON LOWER RIGHT FOR 'FULL SCREEN

    [youtube] [/youtube]

    00:00 – 00:15 CEREMONY (HEART SUTRA in English ONLY) and Dedication
    00:15 – 00:45 ZAZEN
    00:45 – 00:50 KINHIN
    00:50 – 00:55 FOUR VOWS, & VERSE OF ATONEMENT

    PLEASE SIT AN ADDITIONAL PERIOD OF ZAZEN ON YOUR OWN TODAY.

    As you can see, our Zazenkai consists of chanting the 'Heart Sutra' in English (the words are at the link below), 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 (usually) 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

                I am so excited to sit with Sada too. So cute! My husband is out of town so maybe I can try to sit the live Zazenkai with Hunter running around.

                Gassho,

                    I just downloaded the iPad app for Justin and the app can't find Treeleaf. Has anyone else experienced this?

                    Gassho,

                    Never mind, I finally got it to work!
