March 9th, 2013 - OUR MONTHLY 4-hour ZAZENKAI! (Come Dance the 'HEARTlem SHAKE'!)
Thank you so much for today and all the other Zazenkais. The time doesn't translate well to the UK for me to join live but it is great to catch up with you all at some point during the weekend and it makes a real difference feeling part of a sangha as opposed to my solitary daily practice.
A haiku written after today's sit-a-long:
Between zazen sits
the rain continues to fall
my eyes become wet.
I missed the dance as well...but I am dancing right now! Was great to sit Zazenkai with everyone who did, will, and has sat. Thank you all.
Gassho, Jakudo.

It all begins when we say, “I”. Everything that follows is illusion.
"Even to speak the word Buddha is dragging in the mud soaking wet; Even to say the word Zen is a total embarrassment."

Great shakes I didn't know they played cricket in Dublin! My son loved the mix and is still fuming that dad missed the time! Gassho to all shaking and sitting.

It's always good to have fun! This is the only other Heart Sutra I've heard sang before and it's in English:
Enjoy!
Gassho,

Oh Lisa, that is our 'Official' Treeleaf Theme Song commissioned and written a few years ago by our long time member, Will, who pops in and out of here from time to time. Here is his download:
