ATTENTION: Special Zazenkai SATURDAY with Rev. TAIGEN DAN LEIGHTON

[Shinzan]

Thanks so much, Taigen, for your visit and words. Important to me were your comments about "coming down from the mountain," engaging with the world's sufferings. Environmental issues are a huge area where Kannon's capacity to mourn and hold suffering is a key way that our practice can help in the world. Clearly more attention is needed on how vested interests are trying to co-opt and distract with doubt and spiritual materialism.

With a deep bow.

Oh.
Just back on time, it seems.
The car battery wanted to be reanimated, my neighbours' Degus have been fed (the asthmatic one receiving 4 kinds of meds, I think we both are happy we've survived).
And now I am one Zazenkai behind, one straight ahead, and the next one tomorrow??

Home, sweet Home!
One way.
Or the other.

Deep bows,
Danny

I will be volunteering at the Vanderbilt Garden during that time, but will most certainly watch the recorded version afterwards. It will be an honor to receive the teachings from this esteemed master. Thank you Jundo for providing such wonderful opportunities for us and a big thank you for Rev. Taigen for volunteering his time and wisdom.

Gassho, Dillon

I plan to have the hangout open about 15 minutes before the posted start time. Remember the schedule:

The festivities will begin at 11:00 AM CHICAGO TIME SATURDAY (that is NOON in New York, US West Coast 9:00AM, London 5:00pm and Paris 6:00pm, all SATURDAY JULY, 25th). ... Our sitting schedule will look like the following although please be prepared for some flexibility and the possibility to run a little long: perhaps 30 minutes of Zazen, a Talk by Taigen for 45 minutes or so, and some Questions from our Treeleaf participants. I anticipate the the event will be about 90 minutes to 2 hours.

p.s. Oh, I just realized, we will have regular zazenkai on Friday, Taigen-kai on Saturday, and Yugen-kai on Sunday. How lucky we are. It's almost a retreat. Certainly a treat!

[Shinzan]

Verrrry cool. I'll be there, but not in the hangout. Thanks, Jundo.
