    REMINDER: New Years/January monthly 4-hour Zazenkai SATURDAY

    Hi,

    Just a reminder ...

    Our New Years/January monthly 4-hour Zazenkai (Zazen sitting) will be netcast Saturday (1/3) from 9pm to 1am Japan time (that is New York 7am to 11am, Los Angeles 4am to 8am, London noon to 4pm and Paris 1pm to 5pm, Saturday) ...

    ... but fear not if the times are not possible for you to join 'live' in your location, as the entire sitting will be recorded in 'real time' and available for full participation 'on demand' after that (the link will be posted on the blog). So, please join us as soon as you can.

    Remember, when we drop all thought of 'here' 'there' 'now' and 'then' ... we are sitting all together!

    The 'Live' netcast will (if the technology is working right ... we have to use Ustream for this one) be visible at this link at the times indicated:

    http://www.ustream.tv/channel/sit-a-long-with-jundo

    Our Zazenkai will consist of chanting the 'Heart Sutra' and the 'Identity of Relative and Absolute (Sandokai)' in English (attached 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'.

    Please download and print out the NEW Chant Book (PDF) especially for monthly Zazenkai, at the following link:

    http://jundotreeleaf.googlepages.com...MONTHLYRET.pdf

    The schedule is as follows:

    00:00 - 00:50 CEREMONY (HEART SUTRA / SANDOKAI) & ZAZEN
    00:50 - 01:00 KINHIN
    01:00 - 01:40 ZAZEN
    01:40 - 01:50 KINHIN
    01:50 - 02:30 DHARMA TALK & ZAZEN
    02:30 - 02:40 KINHIN
    02:40 - 03:20 ZAZEN
    03:20 - 03:30 KINHIN
    03:30 - 04:00 METTA CHANT & ZAZEN, VERSE OF ATONEMENT, FOUR VOWS, & CLOSING


    I 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.

    ALSO, REMEMBER TO SET YOUR COMPUTER (& SCREEN SAVER) SO THAT IT DOES NOT SHUT OFF DURING THE 4 HOURS.

    Please join in, one and all.

    Gassho, Jundo

    Thanks Jundo

    I will also be there but only to drop in for an hour or two live, depending on the famous "The Teething Infant" teaching.

    Hi Jundo
    thank you for the Zazenkai, no technical issues via Ustream.
    Loved the sound of the big bell & of course your dharma talk - really struck a chord .
    Peace and good wishes to you and your loved ones.
    Deep Gassho

    I did the recorded version this afternoon and except for a few skips and pauses, the ustream was just fine. Thanks for doing these Jundo...after the 2 day retreat this just whizzed by and I couldn't believe 4 hours had passed.

    Thank-you for this, Jundo, I was able to be there for an hour or so live, Ustream was fine for me, too.

    Gassho,
    Martina
