    February 13th-14th Treeleaf Weekly Zazenkai

    Note: I need to watch my daughter during Zazenkai today, so will be in and out during the sittings.

    Note Note: Recording does not begin until after Ceremony, right at start of 1st Zazen. Please join a Ceremony from a prior Zazenkai today.


    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 7pm, Los Angeles 4pm (Friday night), London midnight and Paris 1am (early Saturday morning)

    ... and to be visible on the following screen during those times and sit-a-long-able any time thereafter ...

    LIVE ZAZENKAI NETCAST at GOOGLE+ IS HERE:
    CLICK ON THE TAB ON LOWER RIGHT FOR 'FULL SCREEN




    FOR THOSE NOT ALREADY MEMBERS OF THE CIRCLE WHO WISH TO JOIN TO SIT LIVE WITH A CAMERA, INSTRUCTIONS ARE POSTED AT THIS LINK. WE ARE NOW LIMITED TO 10 INDIVIDUALS WITH CAMERAS, BUT ANY NUMBER CAN WATCH LIVE 'ONE WAY' AND SIT-A-LONG VIA THE ABOVE SCREEN. IF JOINING WITH CAMERA, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR MICROPHONE IS MUTED:

    00:55 – 01:25 ZAZEN

    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 about 30 minutes each, with 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 Chants we will recite at the following link (PDF):

    or

    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

                      Thank you for sharing your practice, everyone. That was an interesting zazenkai for me. My kids were trampling around the house like elephants, my cat kept meowing at the door, and my dog let me know over and over again how badly he needs a walk So I better go continue my kinhin and take him out for some fresh air.

                      Have a great weekend everyone.

                      Gassho,

                            Thank you for your patience guys. Friday 13th (even though I ain't superstitious, and anyway, it was Saturday 14th here ) cut off our Ceremony. The netcast begins at the start of first Zazen.

                            I sat Zazen with my daughter as she ate her breakfast and watched the Disney Channel. This song may be in my head all day ...
