    June 17th-18th Treeleaf Weekly Zazenkai

    NOTE: Due to small technical 'NON-difficulties', today's sit is a 're-sit of a prior week.

    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!


    Gassho, Jundo

      Thank you, Jundo and Shingen. I'll be there live if tech allows and if there is room. Otherwise I will view it one way.

        Hi guys!

        I think I'll be late. If there's no live seats, I'll be one way.

            Golly! Looks like I'll be able to sit the Zazenkai live (one way) this week. I will be there and be square.

              Wonderful, look forward to seeing you there. Also, we are on a first come first serve basis with our weekly and monthly zazenkais now. The special events are different when it comes to seating. =)

                I would like to be there two way if possible. If not, perhaps place me on a waiting list---Thank you All.

                          I posted a resit of a prior week due to technical "non-difficulties" with the recording and feed.

                          Thank you for all who were there, seen or unseen today.

                            Hi everyone! Unfortunately I was not there but I was able to see the recording of the previous week.
                            . It was my first time doing the online zazen but had a lot of fun.

                            Thank you for a beautiful zazen and wish you a beautiful day too!

                            Gassho,
