i enjoy online zazen periods where we all sit together in silence. no dharma talk, just the sounds of the inkin (a type of hand-held striking bell) along with the background sounds from our various locales. the coming together to do our individual work is the coming together as a community.
in late august, i started an online meditation period on monday mornings, but have changed the time to 6 p.m. scottish time, to better accommodate people's schedules. the zazen period lasts twenty-five minutes. it begins with three strikes of the inkin bell and ends with one.
the video conferencing application used is Jitsi Meet, an open source and ethical application (no tracking or mining of user's data) that works across multiple platforms. also, no account creation is needed to use the service, just the app or a web link.
here is the meeting link. as this is an inclusive and active meditation period, please enable the camera.
if you have questions, send me an email.
gassho,
daishin
