Dear Sangha,
Due to the current virus situation our normal schedule has been suspended. In its place we are holding a telephone based series of "virtual" or "distance" group sittings and retreats. Although most meetings are currently audio based, we can switch to video if there is sufficient interest in doing that, and may add a video option to our August weekend retreat as an experiment.
Our usual "virtual" group sittings are on Saturday mornings from 8:30- 9:50 am (Currently suspended for the summer), and on Thursday evenings from 7:30 - 8:50 pm EDT. As an experiment, Tuesday evenings are now being held from 6:30- 8:00 pm via Zoom, with the Zoom sign in available at our egroup csangha@groups.io, or by emailing dharman_shakya@yahoo.com and requesting it. If there is sufficient interest we will add sittings at other dates and times as well.
The log on procedure for all normally scheduled zazen meetings and retreats, with the exception of this summer's Tuesdays, is to dial: 425-436-6394 and after that key in access code 553766. Any practitioner can participate in all or part(s) of these sittings but please try to be quiet during zazen. Please turn your phone onto "mute", and don't introduce yourself if practice has already started. The schedule for sittings and retreats consists of 30- 33 minute periods of sitting zazen alternating with approximately 5 minute periods of kinhin. Tuesday and Thursday evenings end with a short Sutra service or Dharma discussion. If you need a copy of our current set of "virtual" Sutras please email dharman_shakya@yahoo.com.
Our Autumn "virtual" retreat schedule consists of weekend retreats in October, November, and December. If you would like to participate in all or part of any retreat please let us know using our "contact" page. The schedule for our current retreat is in the footer below.
Looking forward to doing zazen with you,
Dharman for CSangha
