    Hello All,

    Please 'sit-a-long' with our weekly FRIDAY/SATURDAY 'LIVE FROM TREELEAF' 90 minute ZAZENKAI, netcast LIVE from 9am Japan time Saturday morning (that is New York 8pm, Los Angeles 5pm (Friday night), London 1am and Paris 2am (early Saturday morning)

    ... and to be visible at the following link 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:

    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'.

    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!

    The laptop I was having audio issues with finally moved on from it's current life, I believe it is now a turtle named Larry, but I cant prove that.

    Anyway, I have no camera on my desk top so my sits will be one way for the foreseeable future.

    Hello

    How hot is it at Treeleaf Zendo?


    It's so hot at Suigó-Tsukuba National Park two trees were fighting over a dog.

    This a great idea and I wish I COULD participate but 8pm on a Friday night is a bit tough for an active family. I will just play sit a longs and watch netcasts when able. Thank you so much for doing this.

    Hi Clark,

    There is no difference (except in the mind, where all difference and judgments are found) between the "live-live" sittings and the anytime "live-later"sittings. I look forward to sitting with you.

    The seated monk smiled and said, "Tell me, where isn't Buddha?"

    Time to think-non-think outside of the box!
