WELCOME to the world’s first totally online ‘Treeleaf Two-Day Rohatsu Retreat‘, which was held by LIVE NETCAST over the weekend of DECEMBER 6 and 7, 2008.
HOWEVER, you may still join the Retreat and sit-a-long at ANY TIME ‘ON DEMAND’, by the real time recorded version below (no different from the original!). DETAILS CLICK HERE …
Recordings of each segment are posted below in time order … and if we drop from mind all thought of ‘now’ ‘then’ ‘here’ and ‘there’ … we will all be sitting together right when and where you are!
Please write and let me know how it goes. Gassho, Jundo
