All microphones will be muted by default, please keep them muted during the meeting. Due to the limitations of the internet, different connections, computer speed, bandwidth etc we cannot keep everyone in sync for chanting if everyone is broadcasting. So chant along with the densu (chant leader) and then follow the prompts from the jikijitsu (time keeper) for the rest of the service.
We have put together a PDF of the chants we are going to do at zazenkai if you would like to chant along. Download the pdf here: Virtual Chant Book.
The service will proceed as follows: 8am Offering of incense Han Sutra Chanting: Heart Sutra, Song of Zazen, Zazen 25 minutes 10 minute break for Exercise, stretching, etc. Reading/Talk Zazen ~10 minutes Chanting of the Four Great Vows
We will not be able to provide technical support during the service. Feel free to contact us afterwards if you’d like some help for the next weeks service.
