    Jamuary 10th-11th, 2013 Treeleaf Weekly Zazenkai

    PLEASE WELCOME OUR NEW MICROPHONE WHICH (MAYBE) WILL IMPROVE SOUND QUALITY!

    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 7pm, Los Angeles 4pm (Friday night), London midnight and Paris 1am (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:

    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

    Hi there,

    If I'm not too tired, I hope I'll be there live. (Just had a short "power nap" to make chances higher.)
    Otherwise I will sit with the recording on the next day.

    Gassho,

    Timo, you go "above and beyond" sitting these live. I can't imagine staying up that late.

    Thanks, William, it helps that I am a night owl. Still - this is not my usual time for sitting, so at the end it can be hard sometimes...
    Great to sit with you all and have a nice weekend!

    With a little luck, I will be there live tonight. If no luck, I will join up televised shorty after the start.
    If I'm already enlightened why the hell is this so hard?

    Trying to make it Live, if work allows. If not, a couple of hours non-late

    Thank you for your practice

    Completely grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this.

    Google decided tonight was a good time to verify my password, which I recently changed and then forgot. Waiting on password recovery.

    Thanks to all who sat or will sit.

    Got there early, but could not get into the Hangout. Sat and watched as it slowly filled up. Great live turnout. For some reason, G+ decided to let me in during the second Zazen period. Great sitting with all of you. Have a wonderful weekend.
