Hi,
To commemorate the visit of our Sangha Member Hans (from Germany) to Treeleaf Japan …
… today is a special 2-hour Hans-Zenkai Zazenkai (Zazen sitting) …
recorded in “real time” and available at the following link:
We start with 3 floor prostrations (or deep Gassho), then chant the Heart Sutra (in GERMAN today!!), and sit as follows:
00:00 – 00:50 CEREMONY & ZAZEN
00:50 – 01:00 KINHIN
01:00 – 01:10 TALK BY HANS
01:10 – 01:50 ZAZEN
01:50 – 02:00 KINHIN, VERSE OF ATONEMENT, FOUR VOWS, & CLOSING
00:50 – 01:00 KINHIN

01:10 – 01:50 ZAZEN
01:50 – 02:00 KINHIN, VERSE OF ATONEMENT, FOUR VOWS, & CLOSING
I SUGGEST THAT YOU POSITION YOUR ZAFU
ON THE FLOOR IN A PLACE WHERE YOU ARE NOT STARING DIRECTLY AT THE
COMPUTER SCREEN, BUT CAN GLANCE OVER AND SEE THE SCREEN WHEN NECESSARY.
YOUR ZAFU SHOULD ALSO BE IN A POSITION WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE COMPUTER
SCREEN WHILE STANDING IN FRONT OF THE ZAFU FOR THE CEREMONIES.

YOUR ZAFU SHOULD ALSO BE IN A POSITION WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE COMPUTER

ALSO, REMEMBER TO SET YOUR COMPUTER (& SCREEN SAVER) SO THAT IT DOES NOT SHUT OFF DURING THE 4 HOURS.
Please join in, one and all.
Gassho, Jundo
