    With wholehearted reverence we bow to the relics of the true body of the Tathagata Shakyamuni, who is fully endowed with myriad virtues; to the dharma body, which is the fundamental ground; and to his stupa, which is the whole universe. With deep respect we venerate the one who manifested a body for our sake. Through the sustaining power of the Buddha, which enters us even as we enter it, we verify awakening. By means of the Buddha’s spiritual power, we benefit living beings, arouse the thought of awakening, cultivate Bodhisattva practice, and together enter perfect peace, the knowledge of the equality of all things. Now let us reverently bow.
    Gassho, to all joining in this sitting from near and far. Jundo

    Re: March 19, 2011 - Special Zazenkai for the Japan Earthquake

    Hi Jundo,

    I'll be there! Will the time be the same (Saturday 9am Japan time)? We just switched to daylight savings here in the States, so I believe the times would now be 8pm New York (6pm Grand Junction/Santa Fe) and 5pm Los Angeles (Friday night). I'm not sure about the times for Europe though, if anyone can help there....or if I got my times wrong here too. Math is not my strongest subject.

    Gassho,
    Dosho

    I just did Zazenkai and it was beautiful.

    I found specially powerful to listen to the Shariraimon.

    May all suffering beings find peace and may we help the ones we can to attain it.

    Jundo, I hope this all crisis stops soon and you and your family can get back home.

    Thank you.

    Just sat this very poignant Zazenkai from my little cell at my Abbey where I am spending a week.

    No buses, but we did get hit by a big snow storm! My Zazenkai consisted of chanting, shoveling snow, zazen, shoveling more snow, kinhin zazen and closing. Normally this is not the case and i can do it without interruption but its nice to have the on demand version when things don't go as planned!

    Thank you Jundo Sensei. I was hoping to see a team up Taigu Sensei on this one but with 2 jobs he must not have been available
    Just a quick question on the tempo. I noticed that all chanting and verses were much slower than we usually do them. Any particular reason?

    Thanks to all fellow sitters past, present, and future.

    Now off to finish up that shoveling :shock:

    Gassho,
    John

    Somehow I missed this one. I'll sit it tonight, 9pm EST to 10:30pm EST if anyone would care to join for all or part. (I will put it on the scheduler)
