    Hello All,

    Please 'sit-a-long' with our weekly FRIDAY/SATURDAY 'LIVE FROM TREELEAF' 90 minute ZAZENKAI, netcast from 10am 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 on the following screen 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

    00:55 – 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'.

    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!

    A TECHNICAL NON-PROBLEM NOTE:

    HANGOUTS IS SUDDENLY NOT LETTING ME INVITE OUR FULL SANGHA CIRCLE of EVERYONE WHO HAS REQUESTED! "TOO MANY PEOPLE" IT SAYS!

    I will ask one of our Google+ managers (volunteer?) to quickly make a new CIRCLE of recent regulars, or please RSVP** in this thread, and I will try to invite you singly before start time.

    Thank you Jundo and everyone! (Sitting was real enough to inconvenience the daughter, who wanted to play Minecraft in the basement I'm getting bold enough to claim my space these days, though... maybe the Rakusu generates courage)

    Thank you all - didn't quite make it live in the end... ... but as always we were still together really. (And I'm thinking everyone else had clear blue skies today, because I had ALL THE CLOUDS - Marvel superheroes, household budget, 90s TV series, stone carving, satin vs matt emulsion, oriental cats, beef-filled blinchiki - and I'm pretty sure some of those weren't even mine!)

    I sat on one way.Because I started to join group of farming at same time at live.

    And I will go Rinzai-style Zazenkai at Ushiku near Tree leaf Zendo by Japanese.
    He has a international group Zazenkai. I heard this Zazenkai from my friend at Antaiji.

    Being a novice priest doesn't mean my writing about the Dharma is more substantial than yours. Actually, it might well be the other way round.

    "Where is it?"
    -
    I have not read the discussion, but I've enjoyed your words, Jundo.
    For me, my sit is right where I am, but needs to be nowhere to see it is everywhere.

    I will be there live Jundo and can help with this technical non-problem if needed. =)
    Shingen, could you maybe post help to the FAQ-section?
    Hangout does not show my circles neither, I now can only copy-paste the link to share it with the Sangha.

    If there is some workaround, other sitters might want to know it too.

    Thank you all.

    Thank you all for your practice and this wonderful opportunity!
    My family just gave me enough of a break so that I could sneak off and sit today's zazenkai - not exactly at the same time but it really made no difference...
    Please keep this thing going!

    Well, it has been ten years now. Guess we will go a bit more.

    Of course, all things are impermanent, so be with what is as it is.

    Alas, it did not snow.

    One takes the weather as it comes ... as the people in the U.S. Eastern Blizzard are felling today.

    Yes, I hope everyone in the blizzard's path is ok. Doesn't Sekishi live in the snow zone? And maybe Shugen? Weirdly enough, my relatives two hours South had almost 2 feet dumped on them, but we got nothing for a change!

    While I am a bit surprised at the criticisms I suppose I shouldn't be. Life is.
