BE ALERT! - CHANGE IN ZAZENKAI SCHEDULE / 2011 ANGO BEGINS!!
Dear Leafers,
I am going up with a local group that travels from time to time to do some volunteer Tsunami clean-up in one of the towns that was swept away, and so the ZAZENKAI THIS WEEK will be at the following times (led by Fugen, from Sweden). Note that the times have been changed from our normal schedule:
2 pm Swedish/Paris time, 1 pm London time, New York 8am and LA 5am, Japan 9pm ... all on SATURDAY, September 3rd.
As well, this will be a 90-minute Zazenkai, and our 4-hour monthly Zazenkai will be moved back one week to September 10th.
Also ...
ANGO 'OFFICIALLY' KICKS OFF ON SEPTEMBER 3rd!!
ALL AN-GOERS GET AN-GOING!!! 8)
I originally was going to celebrate the start of Ango at the Zazenkai. HOWEVER, I WILL NOW CELEBRATE THE COMBINED 'OFFICIAL' START OF JUKAI AT ONE MONTHLY ZAZENKAI on Sept. 10th. I will mark the START OF ANGO WITH A SIMPLE 'SIT-A-LONG TALK LATER THIS WEEK.
During Ango, I will offer a series of Sit-a-Long talks on the Shin Shin Ming (ä¿¡å¿?é??) ... 'Verses on the Trusting/Confident/Faithful Mind' ... one of the foundational teachings ... the Foundation of all Foundations ... of this Way, traditionally attributed to the Third Chinese Zen/Chan Patriarch Jianzhi Sengcan å?§ç'¨ (d. 606).
The wiki listing is pretty good ...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinxin_Ming
I will primarily be using a wonderful translation by Richard Clarke, but with other translators' versions where appropriate. I will post the text at the time.

Hi.
Just to be clear about when things will happen, although we transcend time and space, Bookclub posting is on fridays, live zazenkai on saturdays, Treeleaf Teaparty on sundays and the practicepartner exercises will be posted each monday, which means the first PPE will be posted on monday the 5th and on each consecutive monday for the duration of the Ango.

PS - TY all for your commitment to our practice.
Re: BE ALERT! - CHANGE IN ZAZENKAI SCHEDULE / 2011 ANGO BEGINS!!
Thank you Jundo and Fugen and, I would just like to reiterate the main exhortation, "Be A-lert"; your world needs more Lerts! :D
btw, I detect a strong parallel between Shinjinmei/Hsin hsin ming and Desiderata; are they not the non-perfect Trilogy minus one? :shock:
Re: BE ALERT! - CHANGE IN ZAZENKAI SCHEDULE / 2011 ANGO BEGINS!!
Have a great time doing volunteer work Jundo! Looking forward to the big kickoff on the 3rd!
Gassho,
John

Ah Great Idea Shawn!
Take a look to the Zendo link on the upper righ thand side of this page to the "Sitting Schedule" link :D
On there you find the Sitters Schedule and below that the Treeleaf Events Schedule
Guess who has the ability to keep up the events on either?
Suggestions are welcome (of course also taken as volunteering! :twisted: )

Sometimes the squeaky wheel has to bring the grease. :P
I'll spend some time on that this week.
Thanks again Shohei for all you do.

Re: BE ALERT! - CHANGE IN ZAZENKAI SCHEDULE / 2011 ANGO BEGINS!!
I'll be on G+ on Saturday morning. See you there!
Re: BE ALERT! - CHANGE IN ZAZENKAI SCHEDULE / 2011 ANGO BEGINS!!
Thanks Shohei! (Umm....what time zone is it set to? I seem to be off an hour) :oops:

Heya
you can adjust the time zone. Just click on the calendar and it takes you to the calendar and you can adjust it. Right now it displays Atlantic Standard Time -4 GMT. Eastern is on hour behind that again.

We still don't have power from Irene, so my status for Saturday is iffy at best.

I dont get the calendar / timezone thingy, Shohei,
when i click on the Google button (bottom right, is it that what you meant ?), I come to the google calendar and its already perfectly on my timezone. Getting back to the calendar embedded at trealeaf its still not my timezone. Not that its important, anyway.
If its not working thats fine too,

:oops: I never noticed that either... learn something new every day! Many thanks, Shohei!
Re: BE ALERT! - CHANGE IN ZAZENKAI SCHEDULE / 2011 ANGO BEGINS!!
I hope I am not too late to the party. Fashionably late maybe? LOL.
I am looking forward to this and a little nervous as well. I have been off line for a while and so much has gone on here in my absence! WOW. I look forward to it!
I may not get to sit with everyone on this Saturday, but will join in on the very next sitting.
Gassho!
