March 9th, 2013 - OUR MONTHLY 4-hour ZAZENKAI! (Come Dance the 'HEARTlem SHAKE'!)

Oh great, maybe if one doesn't know the heart sutra, he will found it modern and profound, special but not so buddhist.
My point of vieuw, and thank you to bring it again

That was the most exhausting Heart Sutra I've ever done! I was sitting shirtless during the first zazen yesterday.
Sat the second zazen and listened to the talk this morning. Last two zazen periods will be tomorrow. It was fun everyone.

Hi, Jundo!

Oh, wow, what a fluke! I don't even remember how I stumbled upon that video, but I had to go back through months of YouTube history to find it again.

Gassho,

[Jundo]

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,

Lisa

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:

I hope he stops by again soon, time for a visit.

Everyone in my family agreed that was hilarious.

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.

I will 'join' the dance and zazenkai too this weekend. Never heard of Hatsune Miku before. Heart sutra pop? I love it! Thank you Jundo.

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.

[Jundo]

Good to have you with us Karasu. You were there with all of us. Gassho, J

[Kokuu]

Thank you

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.

[Myozan Kodo]

Does Hatsune Miku have Buddha nature? No more than these mountains and rivers ...

Thanks for the Zazenkai. Great fun! But it's just not cricket...

I missed the dance

You can still join the dance any time right where you are ... from home.

Gassho, J
