    September 18th-19th Treeleaf Weekly Zazenkai

    JUNDO NOTE: IF YOU HAVE JOINED THE HANGOUT "2-WAY" IN THE PAST MONTH, PLEASE WAIT A FEW MINUTES BEFORE JOINING THIS TIME TO GIVE NEW FOLKS A CHANCE. If there are still open spaces at our starting time, however, then please feel free to jump in and fill them. Thank you.

    Hello All,

    Please 'sit-a-long' with our weekly FRIDAY/SATURDAY 'LIVE FROM TREELEAF' 90 minute ZAZENKAI, netcast from 10am Japan time Saturday morning (that is New York 9pm, Los Angeles 6pm (Friday night), London 2am and Paris 3am (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:

    00:00 – 00:15 CEREMONY (HEART SUTRA in English) and Dedication
    00:15 – 00:45 ZAZEN
    00:45 – 00:55 KINHIN
    00:55 – 01:25 ZAZEN
    01:25 – 01:30 FOUR VOWS & VERSE OF ATONEMENT


    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):


    Chant Book (PDF)

    or

    Chant Book (SHORT VERSION HTML)

    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!

      I gather you are not the Ino this week. Ino needs to be there to bang the drum!

        Nope, not this week, it is going to be our man Shugen doing the magic. =)

        But of course I am always on stand-by just in case of alien abduction or the like.

            I will be joining one way to ensure others have a chance to sit live. Always present even when not.

              I will try to connect live right at 4 am. If there's a seat I'm in, if not one-way then.

                  I'll be traveling home back from Rio, so I won't be able to sit live.

                    Hello; I recently registered and will attempt to join by way of the one way link. I need guidance from more technically adept persons to tell me how to join in the two way fashion, but I will ask my university's IT guy to help me figure that out on Monday.
                    Thanks.

                      I will be there barring an alien abduction. In which case, Shingen - it's all you! ;-)

                          I am still the sick Buddha, aching and fever, no zazenkai for me this weekend.

                            I will most likely be sitting this one recorded, but if I join live I will hang back a bit before joining.

                            Joyo, I hope you recover soon!
