WELCOME ...

... to our TREELEAF 'AT HOME' Two Day 'ALL ONLINE' ROHATSU (Buddha's Enlightenment Day) RETREAT, being  held by LIVE NETCAST on Sunday/Monday December 4 and 5, 2011. 

Please 'sit-a-long' with the LIVE NETCAST at the times below ... to be visible at the following link during those hours ...
LIVE RETREAT NETCAST at JUSTIN.TV: CLICK ON THE TAB ON LOWER RIGHT FOR 'FULL SCREEN   

http://www.justin.tv/treeleafzen

HOWEVER, you may still join the Retreat and sit-a-long at ANY AND ALL TIME after, by the real time recorded version below (no different from the original!). 

The full sitting schedule is below, and you may download our CHANT BOOK HERE(PDF):

and various RETREAT POINTERS HERE(PDF):

Recordings of each segment are posted below in time order ... and if we drop from mind all thought of 'now' 'then' 'here' and 'there' ... we will all be sitting together right when and where you are! 

This Retreat celebrates the 'official' closure of our ANGO (100 day Special Practice Season) at Treeleaf, is a part of current preparations for our JUKAI (Undertaking the Precepts) Ceremony in January, and marks ROHATSU ... the traditional holiday in Japan celebrating the time of the Buddha's Enlightenment. 

Jundo will be guiding the first day of sitting on Sunday, and Taigu on Monday.

In case of technical problems, please just go along as best you can with the schedule ... we sit with "what is".. .

OF COURSE, EVERYTHING IN MODERATION ... if the sitting ever feels too much, be sure to walk lots and lots of Kinhin (even if during a sitting period). And if the whole retreat becomes too much, or you feel ill, you may slow down ... , spread things out, shorten the sittings ... or STOP! Be sure that you have someone close by whom you can call, or who can check on you from time to time. If there is any question about health, do not take any chances!

Please write and let us know how it goes. Gassho, Jundo & Taigu
