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

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) ...

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:

Thanks everyone, sorry I was both late and had to leave early. One other advantage of the online format is that’s hopefully not disruptive at all.

See you next week!

Thanks everyone. First time with you all and first time being able to sit with a sangha in over 5 years. It's been a goal of mine since I became ill and now that has been fulfilled thanks to you all. What a great opportunity for everyone, particularly those of us who are differently abled. I hope to see you all more soon.

I'm late to the party, but just wanted to thank everyone for this one.

I've been struggling quite a bit since this shooting, and my practice has been sporadic at best, and this talk has helped me quite a bit.

Hope everyone is safe.

Dear Sangha, dear friends, Please Jundo I would be in the next Zazenkai, please let friends read all of this. I'm here as I often come. I have cheated death several times, six, probably more. I have attained recognition in two religions, Christian and Buddhist, and I am as I have always wanted, a member of a beautiful people united in good, I have attained recognition as a teacher at one great University, I have been called Professor once, published my poetry in one state library, two college libraries, and finally attained my MFA creative writing/ poetry with 3.95 GPA, loved a wonderful woman and raised my own wonderful child, fathered no one else, never divorced in 40 years this June 12th loved that woman and child, I am grateful and ready to go when it happens in 20 years or today. I have gratitude.
