RING IN THE NEW YEAR ... AND EVERY NEW MOMENT ... WITH OUR 4-HOUR ZAZENKAI ...
ALSO NOTE THAT SOME KINHIN TIMES HAVE BEEN LENGTHENED IN COMPASSION FOR NEW SITTERS JOINING US ...
Dear All,
Please 'sit-a-long' with our NEW YEAR 4-hour ZAZENKAI, netcast LIVE 8am to noon Japan time Saturday morning (1/1) (that is New York 7pm to 11pm, Los Angeles 4pm to 8pm (Friday night 12/31), London 11pm to 3am and Paris midnight to 4am (early Saturday morning)) ... and visible at the following link during those times ...
LIVE ZAZENKAI NETCAST at USTREAM:

But FEAR NOT if not possible for you to join 'live' in your location at those times, as the entire sitting is recorded in 'REAL TIME' and available for full participation 'ON DEMAND' at ANY TIME after that, no different from the 'live' sitting . Just click then on the links below:
THE 'REAL TIME, ANY TIME' recorded version is divided into 2 parts as follows (click on the blue links) :

ZAZENKAI PART 2 LINK:
http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/11751489
Our Zazenkai consists of our chanting the 'Heart Sutra' and the 'Identity of Relative and Absolute (Sandokai)' in English (please download our Chant Book at the link below), some full floor prostrations (please follow along with me ... or a simple Gassho can be substituted if you wish), a little talk by me ... and we close with the 'Metta Chant', followed at the end with the 'Verse of Atonement' and 'The Four Vows'. Oh, and lots and lots of Zazen and walkin' Kinhin in between!
Please download and print out the Chant Book (PDF) at the following link:
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2231
I STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT YOU POSITION YOUR ZAFU ON THE FLOOR IN A PLACE WHERE YOU ARE NOT STARING DIRECTLY AT THE COMPUTER SCREEN, BUT CAN GLANCE OVER AND SEE THE SCREEN WHEN NECESSARY. YOUR ZAFU SHOULD ALSO BE IN A POSITION WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE COMPUTER SCREEN WHILE STANDING IN FRONT OF THE ZAFU FOR THE CEREMONIES, AND HAVE ROOM FOR BOWING AND KINHIN.
ALSO, REMEMBER TO SET YOUR COMPUTER (& SCREEN SAVER) SO THAT IT DOES NOT SHUT OFF DURING THE 4 HOURS.
I hope you will join us ... an open Zafu is waiting. When we drop all thought of 'here' 'there' 'now' 'then' ... we are sitting all together!
HAPPY NEW RIGHT THIS MOMENT!
Gassho, Jundo

Having a small child, I'm an early bird, and I crash around 11pm, so I'm sure i'd get sound asleep after the first half an hour of sitting, but I'll join you in the recorded sitting. After all time is an ilusion... :)
Have a very present 2011!

Hi all,
I doubt it matters much now, but the times for North America were slightly off in Jundo's post. It's 6pm to 10pm New York, 3pm to 7pm Los Angeles.

Thank you for the sitting tonight all. A special thanks to the woman sitting with Jundo, she was an inspiration and gave me no excuses to be tired. :)
PS - My 2 year old daughter came and sat with us in my lap for about 5 min...she then proceeded to walk up to the laptop screen, said Hi a few times, waved and left. (She's used to Skype).
Hope you all have a great New Years Eve/Day.
Gassho,
Shawn
