A couple of big announcements here …
First, thanks to our wonderful carpenters, the new/old Zen Hall at Treeleaf in Japan is now about ready … the tatami mats are in, the Zafus, and Buddha is in his place … (Please see the pictures below of the interior, and the exterior in scaffolding which they are still repairing)
Second, after a lovely year here at Beliefnet.com, our daily “Sit-a-long with Jundo” Zazen netcasts will be moving home on January 1st to SHAMBHALA SUNSPACE, the webpage of the Shambhala Sun and Buddhadharma magazines, where we will be a daily featured Buddhist blog … sitting there just as we do here. And, taking our spot here at Beliefnet will be a truly wonderful Buddhist blogger … whose name I do not wish to tell you yet, partly for fear of spoiling the surprise! But that blog will be a wonderful addition to Beliefnet!
(remember: recording ends soon after the beginning bells;
a sitting time of 20 to 35 minutes is recommended)
