    December 14th-15th, 2013 Treeleaf Weekly Zazenkai

    NOTE: BECAUSE OF INTERNET NON-COOPERATION, THE BELOW IS A RESIT OF AN EARLIER ZAZENKAI!

    Hello All,

    Please 'sit-a-long' with our weekly FRIDAY/SATURDAY 'LIVE FROM TREELEAF' 90 minute ZAZENKAI, netcast LIVE from 9am Japan time Saturday morning (that is New York 7pm, Los Angeles 4pm (Friday night), London midnight and Paris 1am (early Saturday morning)

    ... and to be visible at the following link during those times and sit-a-long-able any time thereafter ...

    LIVE ZAZENKAI NETCAST at GOOGLE+ IS HERE:
    CLICK ON THE TAB ON LOWER RIGHT FOR 'FULL SCREEN




    FOR THOSE NOT ALREADY MEMBERS OF THE CIRCLE WHO WISH TO JOIN TO SIT LIVE WITH A CAMERA, INSTRUCTIONS ARE POSTED AT THIS LINK. 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)

    or

    Chant Book (SHORT VERSION HTML)

    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

    Thanks to all who sat. This was a memorable Zazenkai. Technology can be a great thing. First it seemed we would not get together, but then it all worked out really nicely. Gassho, William

    Thank you everyone - it was marvelous to see what we can do together! Deep bows to all who sat and will sit. I apologize to our European colleagues who sit Saturday morning local time, I did not record/broadcast the hangout.....

    William and Treena, thank you very much!

    Thank you, Guys. The perfect "Friday the 13th" Zazenkai.

    We all sat together ... this seeing with the eyes and hearing with the ears just an extra luxury.

    If this ever happens (as it will) ... just each chant at home the Heart Sutra, Verse of Atonement and Four Vows (one of our Ino can lead the way if around). Looks like that is just what you guys did this time too! We are all together.

    Gassho, J

    I think the Google+ time settings were off. Last night the invite on my app informed me that the hangout would begin in 5 hours and 23 minutes. Which would have been early this morning New Jersey time.
