    April 29-30th Treeleaf Weekly Zazenkai - BION B' INOing

    Please welcome Bion as our "Rookie Ino" today,
    as we welcome some new Ino volunteers in the coming weeks!
    Please forgive any premature ringing or missed mokugyo wacks.

    Also, I (Jundo) am going to TRY to get our Zoom on the air today, all by myself, as I insisted that Sekishi take his first "vacation" (or as close as possible) in unknown years.
    Sekishi will be looking over my shoulder anyway, just in case I flub it up.

    Dear All,

    Please sit our Treeleaf Zazenkai for 90 minutes with Zazen, Heart Sutra and more:

    10am Japan Saturday morning, NY 9pm, LA 6pm Friday night, London 2am and Paris 3am Saturday morning, or any time thereafter here:


    However, "one way" live sitters are encouraged to come into the Zoom sitting, and just leave the camera and microphone turned off: Join live (with or without a camera & microphone) on Zoom at: TREELEAF Now OR at DIRECT ZOOM LINK, password (if needed): dogen

    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 VERSE OF ATONEMENT & FOUR VOWS
    01:30 - 01:45(?) Informal Tea Time (All Welcome)

    ATTENTION: Everyone, when rising for Kinhin or Ceremonies after Zazen, get up slowly, don't rush, hold something stable, you won't be "late," so TAKE YOUR TIME! Make sure you are careful getting up!

    Gassho, Jundo

    PS - There is no "wrong" or "right" in Zazen ... yet here is a little explanation of the "right" times to Bow (A Koan) ...


    Chant Book is here for those who wish to join in: CHANT BOOK LINK

    The other video I mention on Zendo decorum is this one, from our "Always Beginners" video Series:

    I also recommend a little Talk on why small rituals and procedures are so cherished in the Zendo:

    But (unless I muddle things up terribly), you are only a passenger on the boat this time, Sekishi. Get out of the engine room, and grab a Zafu deck chair.

May you find everything as it should be, and I listened intently not long after visit to Ukraine with Washin may there be peace for all of us, may all peoples find food shelter their lives as they wish to them in Peace, and happy Mothers Day and end of war in WW2 for Europe. Bion listening, for you.
