    TONGLEN MEDITATION CIRCLE Sunday 26 August 2018

    Dear all

    Please do join us for the beautiful Tibetan inspired practice of taking and sending (tonglen), tomorrow on Sunday 26 August. This practice is based on loving kindness (metta) and includes both taking in the suffering of others and sending joy, peace and metta.

    All are very welcome to join whether they have previous experience of the practice or not.

    The Tonglen Practice Circle will be happening tomorrow in the scheduled sitting room at the following times:

    UK (BST) - 8pm
    Western Europe - 9pm
    EDT - 3pm
    CDT - 2pm
    MDT - 1pm
    PDT - 12pm
    AKDT - 11am
    Tokyo - 5am (Monday)

    For those unfamiliar with the practice, there is a short description here: https://www.treeleaf.org/forums/show...e-Instructions

    I hope to see you there!

    Kokuu,

    Did we ever discuss recording these so people can join later, much as with our weekly Zazenkai?

    Is there a reason that we are not? I would love to make this more widely available to people who can't attend at that time.

    Gassho, Jundo

    Hi Jundo

    We talked about it at the begining and decided not to record. I cannot remember exactly why.

    Am happy to learn how to do so though.

    Yes, please. Next time do record so that folks can join in any time. Just like the Zazenkai.

    Hello,

    Will this take place again at some point? I have practiced this before (having learned from a Tibetan Lama), but it is something I struggle with also. Would love to work with a recording if there is one.

    Hi Kim

    Wonderful you have practiced tonglen before!

    Yes, it takes place on the last Sunday of each month.

    There are plans to record the next session but I am not yet up to speed with the tech!

    Hi Kokuu,

    Yes, I have practiced tonglen a few times.

    If I can assist at all with the tech, please let me know. I'm happy to try. Even if I am not feeling well that day, if it is something that maybe I can just set up on my laptop to record and/or monitor, I can probably do that.

    Thank you, Kim. I may well take you up on that!

    Jundo says it is very easy but my brain doesn't do tech well.

    Someone will show you how to make a Youtube Hangout, Kokuu. It is as easy as a skype call (almost). And any priest of a primarily online Sangha must know such skills, as much as lighting the candles or ringing a bell.

    This is very true.

    I found the following step-by-step instructions and am following them in a trial run.

    Follow these steps to set up Hangouts On Air with YouTube Live:

    Go to Live Streaming Events in Creator Studio.
    Click New live event.
    Select Quick (using Google Hangouts On Air).
    Give your live stream a title.
    Click Go live now or enter in details to schedule your event for later.
    Use Hangouts to broadcast live.
