Meeting Format
The 'zendo' will be open from 7:20 am and I will join and ring the bell three times. The sitting is 30 minutes long and ends with one bell. You are invited to chant the Bodhisattva vows with me:
Beings are numberless, I vow to save them
Delusions are inexhaustible, I vow to end them
Dharma Gates are boundless, I vow to enter them
Buddha's Way is unsurpassable, I vow to become it
You can enter the Zendo at any time you want, and leave when you want. You will be visible to anyone in the electronic Zendo, and see everyone.
After the chanting the vows, let's end the sitting by bowing to each other and offering a morning greeting 'good morning have a good day'. Then leave the Zendo, i.e. end the meeting in zoom speak.
Thanks and I look forward to sitting with you all.
