Dear Friends,
There is an all-day sitting this Sunday, 17 February.
All-day sittings are a great way to reinvigorate your practice and to get in training for sesshin.
If you plan to attend, please sign up at the zendo on Thursday or e-mail aucklandzen@yahoo.com.au to reserve a place.
It is OK to come for part of the day or just the usual Sunday slot from 8:30 to 10:30 (no need to e-mail if you are only attending teisho).
BYO breakfast and lunch (microwave and toaster oven available). Tea is provided.
11:15 zazen/kinhin
12:15 lunch
3:20 zazen, chanting
4:00 cleanup
Koha is requested, $30 suggested for a full day.
