    Re: Sharing Helpful and Insightful Tips (was The Tea Party)

    I would like to participate, but what keeps me from doing so is my current level of internet connectivity and where I happen to be. I just wanted to let you guys know that I would be there if I could be there. Of course, I am "there," but not in the most useful of senses.

    During our small gathering, I believe I brought up the desire to see our Zazenkai and tea party sutras and chants compiled into an easy to follow PDF that could be printed. Just a repackaged resource.

    Hello!
    Can I just check when the tea parties are held please? Shyness has prevented me from joining (& may still!) but I'd quite like to get involved.

    Thanks!

    Ade,

    The tea party is at 3pm my time (New York) and 9pm Sweden time, so I believe that would make it 8pm your time. Please correct me if I'm wrong Fugen!

    As for being shy, I can relate. The first two times I was on the call I disconnected without saying anything! But I kept coming back and found a great group of people to talk with about practice and daily life (not two BTW).

    Please come and join us!

    Gassho,
    Dosho

    Thanks Dosho; I'll hopefully see you there!
