Time for Yugen's Sunday Zazenkai

[Yugen]

JUNDO NOTE: PLEASE READ FROM THE END OF THIS THREAD, NOT THE START, AS THE TIME HAS BEEN RE-ADJUSTED SINCE IT BEGAN. ALSO, THIS THREAD IS ABOUT A ZAZENKAI ON SUNDAY GUIDED BY YUGEN, NOT THE TREELEAF FRIDAY-SATURDAY ZAZENKAI.

Hello Everyone,
I just wanted to update the start date for the Sunday zazenkai: we will start on July 26 instead of July 19 at 8:30 AM Eastern time US (GMT -5). I will send out G+ invites on Friday the 24th. Shingen will be serving as Ino/Doan - I hope you can practice with us. The format will be identical to the Zazenkai which Jundo leads on Friday night/Saturday morning.

Deep bows
Yugen

[Kyotai]

Thank you Yugen

Looking forward to it.

Thank you Yugen and Shingen and all who sat.
Sorry for being my usual hour late - I calculated my daylight saving time against GMT-5...

Does Maine have more than one time zone, or would it be all right if I fed worldtimebuddy any coastal town to have appropriate EST/EDT?
Thank you.

Danny,
Maine has one time zone. You can set your world time calculator by Portland, Maine, Boston MA or New York City

The error was mine. We are GMT -4 right now.

Thank you Yugen. The Friday schedule for me is always changing. Sunday mornings are a great time for me. I look forward to practicing with all of you.

[Dojin]

since i am the only one in Israel as far as i know. and we are GMT +2 here. in israel sunday is not a day off but saturday. so sundays dont work for me. even though i am not sure about any day since i work 6 shifts a week. and some times double shifts of 16 hours.
but if someone would like to try and organize something on closer to my time i would be happy to join in sometimes

Gassho, Dojin (Sat today).

[Jika]

Shalom, Dojin,

I am currently UTC+2 (UTC+1+daylight saving), and you seem to have IST+daylight saving, so you are UTC/GMT+3, one hour ahead of me.

But we are not that far away after all

I sit on G+ on Thursday evenings 20:30 till 21:00 my time zone, that would be 21:30 till 22:00 (9:30pm till 10pm) IDT.
Maybe this is too late, or is not possible for you, but I would be really happy if you joined our small group sometimes!

Gassho,
Danny

[Yugen]

Hello all,
We will not be having a Sunday zazenkai tomorrow (8/2) as it is the first Sunday of the month and this is the time when the Treeleaf Priest's Meeting takes place. Our zazenkai will return next week in the same time slot.

What I would like to do once we are in a rhythm is to ask for a (serious) volunteer to lead our practice (zazen and kinhin) the first Sunday of every month in my place. In this way we don't miss a Sunday - the only difference being the first Sunday of the month is zazen and kinhin without a service.

If you are interested in helping out please send me a PM.

See you all next Sunday.

Deep bows
Yugen

[Yugen]

Lisa,
As of this time I ha e chosen not to record these zazenkai as the one led by Jundo every week is the primary Sangha activity and we'd like the focus to be on that - it is available for participation any time. My zazen practice is like birds flying across the sky - they leave no trace......! I'd like the emphasis to be upon our teacher as leader of the Sangha.

Well, we are all Leaders of this Sangha.

These Zazenkai at various times are wonderful for folks who wish to sit live to suit various time zones. But if folks are open to sitting with the recording, they should join our Treeleaf Zazenkai each week.

Shugen,
I'd be honored to have you join me. The next two weeks we are going to keep it simple. Robe verse, Heart Sutra, zazen, kinhin, zazen. Would you be willing to do the robe verse and heart sutra? We will go to a regular service in October. Ultimately we could trade the Doshi role back and forth if you like.

I'll be at an event Sunday morning but will join for 15 minutes if I can. Thank you. The more opportunities to sit as a sangha, the better.

Wonderful, thank you Yugen and Shugen and everyone! It was great to sit with you all.

It seemed like my webcam was not working... it worked fine at the Teaparty, and I made sure it was not blocked or anything on the settings... anyone have any ideas why? I have rechecked everything and it is working fine on Skype also.
