Hey Guys,

Due to Taigu and my health conditions ... I have made an executive decision to shorten the retreat's 2nd day only by about 2 hours (by removing the last Oryoki and Samu periods at the end of the second day).

THE NEW SCHEDULE FOR DAY TWO IS AS FOLLOWS ... ONLY DAY 2 UNITS 6 and 7 are changed!

I am sorry for the inconvenience. In the meantime, please enjoy our "silent" chanting! Jundo's version of the Heart Sutra without words is truly "EMPTY!" 8)
