FOR THOSE NOT ALREADY MEMBERS OF THE CIRCLE WHO WISH TO JOIN TO SIT LIVE WITH A CAMERA, INSTRUCTIONS ARE POSTED AT THIS LINK (http://www.treeleaf.org/forums/showthread.php?10200-How-to-Join-GOOGLE-for-Zazenkai). 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
00:15 – 00:45 ZAZEN
00:45 – 00:55 KINHIN
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'.

Please download and print out the Chants we will recite at the following link (PDF):

Chant Book (PDF) (http://www.treeleaf.org/treeleaf_zazenkai_chant_book.pdf)

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!


Gassho, Jundo gassho1

Hello,

My work schedule seems to keep needing me on Friday in the evening, during Zazenkai. Will be there "later."

Missed the opening ceremony but made it in time for Zazen.... thanks everyone! Neat to see a full house!

Don't know if I've broken any precepts yet?? Felt anger trying to surface about something that happened at work today, but was able to diffuse it without too much trouble.

Can't spend a day without - thinking anger, greed, killing carrots that had a healthy mild winter in my dad's garden so far...
My parents cut a tiny Christmas tree for me, and I still have it (keeps well), but I regret that it won't ever grow to be a big tree.
[scared]

Sitting with you now.
All harmful words, thoughts and acts, ever committed by me since of old... now I atone for them all.

I see your point, as I go continue my battle against fleas, ticks, worms, and germs....
Glad you are back Jika, hope you are doing well!
