[Jundo]

ReMINDer: DAYLIGHT SAVING CHANGED! BE SURE TO CHECK START TIMES!

Today's Little Talk is based on this: What do I have to offer? (LINK)

Dear All,

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

10am Japan Saturday morning, NY 8pm, LA 5pm Friday night, London 1am and Paris 2am 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

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:

A couple of examples of the wonderful hats that Soto priests may sometimes wear during ceremonies. Kokuu's cap is just as grand in my heart ...

Thank you everyone!

[Tairin]

Thank you everyone. I sat with you this morning.

Minus 7 degrees Celsius outside with a wind chill of minus 16. The house is cold. Wearing a hat during Zazen is starting to sound like a good idea.
