Time for Yugen's Sunday Zazenkai

[Shugen]

Hello all,

I will temporarily be taking over the Sunday morning sit for Yugen due to his work schedule. We will begin the Sunday after Jukai (That is beginning October 17th, 7am until about 8:30am New York City time).

The format will be:
Robe Verse (English)
Heart Sutra (English)
Zazen for 30 Minutes
Kinhin for 10 Minutes
Zazen for 30 Minutes
Verse of Atonement
Four Vows

I look forward to sitting together!

Gassho,

Shugen

I have noticed that the sitter's schedule doesn't go beyond 2015. It would be really helpful to have a compact list or reference for all of the live sits that are conducted by the unsui. My work schedule is all over the place and I never seem to be able to catch a zazenkai, so I might start looking to the unsui sits for a little live time with the group. I think my unofficial New Years resolution is to be less shy about appearing on camera at Treeleaf. I think I came into the wrong generation-- most millennials don't think twice about taking pictures of themselves or appearing on live camera chats, but I seem to be really uneasy about it!

Hi Geika,

It looks like there is a bug in the calendar itself that isn't letting it progress beyond December 31, 2015.

I've made a note on my todo list for the coming week to look into it further.

Hello Geika,

I'll be hosting Yugen's Sunday Zazenkai for a while. They will be every Sunday Morning from 7:00am EST until around 8:30am EST. I think I'll continue to do them as an "Event" through the Treeleaf Community page. Let me know if you can't find them or can't join the Hangout.

Gassho,

Shugen

Geika,

I can relate. Treeleaf was my first contact with using a webcam (had to buy an external one); I had only used Skype once before to see a friend's baby son.

The good thing about Treeleaf is: when everyone is practicing, they won't be staring at you or your furniture.
And when you are sitting zazen, you will forget about being nervous.
So all is good.
And we are Sangha, so there's no need to be worried. At least that's how I feel now.

Today, during Shugen's Zazenkai, I was too busy getting my computer to work, then too busy hitting the "mute" button again and again, then too busy sitting - can't tell you very much about the other sitters, their cloths or room decoration.
We were together, that's all.

Hope to sit with you one day.

Shugen, thank you very much for hosting Zazenkai!

Agree Jika, Treeleaf sits are a good way to get over camera shyness since no one is focusing on anything except the sit. I am still a bit self-conscious of not having a quieter, less cluttered space in my house to sit but I am getting less so, since it doesn't seem to bother anyone.

Yes thank you Shugen, I like the Sunday morning sit, (who would have thought, I started doing it as an Ango resolution to get myself up early on Sunday morning!!) but used up most of my monthly data on the Jukai ceremony so have to wait a bit before I can sit live again... hope to join you all again soon.

Shugen, thank you very much for hosting Zazenkai!

Yes! And big thank you to everyone sitting too. As for me, I'm not always able to participate
live in the main Zazenkais which start on about 2 - 4 a.m. local time and being very grateful
for this possibility on Sundays..(I do like to sit both, however )

Thank you, everyone. In those times when I have managed a live sit or Skype session, I always think, "what was stopping me?"

Hello all,

I changed up some things with my internet and was wondering if today's (June 19th) Sunday Sit invitations went out and if anyone tried to join but was unable to.

Actually I do see something, but funny how it is not in line with the rest of the events. If I go under the events page it is put down there as "Past Events". This might be a Google thing, as we do know they do like there bugs. =)

Sorry, Shugen,

I received the invite and it looked as usual.
Intended to participate, but found myself in midst of a lengthy chat on the phone with a friend at 13:15...

Jika, I'll be visiting an old friend in Istanbul who's having hard times now..
Can't help much, but being present around is sometimes enough, I think.
