July 8th-9th Treeleaf Weekly Zazenkai - New (Ancient) Chant Book

[Jundo]

ATTENTION: We slightly revised our Chant Book for the Weekly and Monthly Zazenkai,
available HERE in both ONLINE TXT format or as downloadable PDF Booklet.

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) ...

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:

I believe that Bion changed our cover photo for the Treeleaf Sangha Youtube Channel to a nice Japanese garden scene?

Thank you, Bion. It is lovely.

Good to see the diversity phrase now added.

And yes thank you to Bion for that scene selection, wonderful.
Hopi ng to get back in to the old On Demand routine, now life has settled a little.
