About Treeleaf Zen

Jundo was ordained in 2002 and subsequently received Dharma Transmission from Master Gudo Wafu Nishijima. He is a member of the Soto Zen Buddhist Association and American Zen Teachers Association . His blog, Treeleaf Zen, was designed specifically for Zen practitioners who cannot easily commute to a Zen Center due to health concerns, living in remote areas, or childcare and family needs.
On Treeleaf Zen, Jundo provides Zazen sittings, guided meditation, retreats, discussion, interaction with a teacher, and all other activities of a Zen Buddhist sangha, all fully online. Members now sit in over 20 countries. The focus is Shikantaza "Just Sitting" Zazen, as instructed by the 13th Century Japanese Master, Eihei Dogen.

Very nice to hear the bells after after a long absence from my life...
After sitting, a nice cup of tea perhaps?
so sorry about the cold weather.
I go back and forth with it. Sometimes I find it annoying, sometimes I find it refreshing.
There is a great meditation on rain from Zen Flesh, Zen Bones...
"In rain during a black night, enter that blackness as the form of forms."
"When a moonless raining night is not present, close eyes and find blackness before you. Opening eyes, see blackness. So faults disappear forever."
