    Monday through Thursday Evening Zazen with Shingen

    Hello everyone,

    I will be hosting a evening zazen for anyone who would like to sit Monday to Thursday. I will be doing the robe verse and the Heart Sutra before zazen and if anyone would like to take the lead on it, you are more than welcome ... but also know you can just come and sit if that works for you as well. =)

    Here is the break down of times.

    Pacific: 7pm-7:40pm
    N. American Eastern: 10pm-10:40pm
    London: 3am-3:40am
    Paris: 4am-4:40am
    Japan: 11am-11:40am

    Notes: Will start zazen with the robe verse and the Heart Sutra on the hour (about 10mins). Folks are more than welcome to volunteer to chant if they wish or you can join for just zazen.

    Downloadable PDF: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7...Dd2ekM0YWFzVEU

    Hope to see you there. =)

    Hey Randy,

    Yes, I will send out and invite ... actually, if folks are interested to post your intention here. Then I will create a new group and add folks to that group, so then the whole Treeleaf Sangha doesn't get overwhelmed by all the requests. =)

    Hey folks,

    Just an FYI ... because of DST (daylight saying time) we sprung a head an hour, I have moved my evening sits up and hour at my end ... please let me know if this works and if it doesn't, let me know and I will see how we can make it work. =)

    Hi Shingen,

    Could you please include me in the list of invites too. The 5-6 a.m. LT looks like another good opportunity
    for me to come sit with you all once in awhile (when schedule permits this end and a free seat at yours =)
    Thank you.

    Monday through Thursday Evening Zazen with Shingen

    My invitation said the sit was 10:30pm, which would be too late for me most nights, but if that is better for others than don't worry about me--I can't make it anyway a lot of the time due to family stuff going on.

    Yes we noticed that ... so what we are trying this week is to alternate times at my end. One early and then one later. This is what we have so far for this week as a trial (see below). I also said to not worry if you come in later or have to leave early, please feel free to come and go as needed. =)

    I am probably being a total dingbat about this, but I am still confused: my Google calendar is prompting me for these at 8:30 PM and 10:30 PM, instead of 7:30 and 9:30. Must be the former, because of daylight savings??

    Hey Jakuden,

    This week I am doing a trial to help meet the different time zones. So Monday and Wednesday are later at 7:30pm (PST) which is 10:30pm (EST), Tuesday and Thursday are at 5:30pm (PST) which is 8:30pm (EST). This way I can hopefully sit with more of you which is always a good thing. =)

    Clear as mud as Jundo would say?

    Hello,

    May I be added to this? Or does one have to be at a certain level of experience, knowledge, ability ..... If so, I understand.

    If permitted, I think I could try nighttime. Might not be able to sit for all, but at least a few minutes.

    Shingen,

    One of the reasons I moved my evening sit from 10pm to 11pm EST was to avoid any overlap with your 40 minute sits at 9:30pm. But with two nights at 10:30pm EST we'll be back to the same issue.

    I would think we could find a way so there is no overlap.

    I blame the Daylight Savings all on Saskatchewan. =) LOL *kidding* Yes for sure, trying to balance out times to cover as many time zones as possible without over lap so people can have a place to connect and sit together. So these times are not set in stone and I am working with folks to get them ironed out. =)

    So, turns out these times don't usually work for me, most days I only have a short window where I could possibly do an online sit between 9:30 and 10:30 PM. Usually before that, my younger daughter is still up and interacting with me, and after that I am in bed, lol. Keep sending me invites though, as I will surely join at times, if I am up later than usual or if she is not around.

    Hello everyone,

    Just wanted to give you an update with my evening zazen. I am starting a zazen group in my community and our sitting time is going to be on Tuesday nights, so I am sorry I will not have an online sit that night. But I will still have Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday times going. =)
