    reMINDer: DAYLIGHT SAVINGS has changed in NORTH AMERICA (but not until MARCH 27th IN EUROPE), please confirm current start times below!

    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 1am and Paris 2am (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

    00:55 – 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):

    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!

          Hi guys!

          This week has been pretty tough and I'll be working late today. If I can I'll join

          If not, I'll sit live in the recorded version over the weekend.

          Gassho,

            I have a lot to learn; take anything I say that sounds like teaching with a grain of salt.

                  Nothing I say is a teaching, it's just my own opinion.

                          Thank you Jundo, Shingen, et. al - the G+ link worked for me this time and I sat with you all.

                          Jundo, my apologies for my "mysterious" avatar (I will fix that soon) - I had my camera turned off because of family stuff going on. I rarely use the camera anyway. I was "K" in tonight's zazen, and I am very happy that I could join you tonight . Looking forward to many more "sits" with all of you.

                          Gassho,

                            Thanks everyone, had to exit in second zazen but all good.

                            Be well everyone, and thank you for sharing time with me.
