SIT-A-LONG with JUNDO: RETREAT - VIII (Oryoki I NEW VERSION)
I HAVE REPOSTED A BETTER VERSION OF THE DEMONSTRATION DUE TO TECHNICAL OBSTACLES YESTERDAY
We will be making a simple 'Oryoki set for our 'Treeleaf Two-Day Online Retreat' scheduled for LIVE NETCAST over the weekend of DECEMBER 6 and 7, 2008 (and available in recorded form after that, for participation any time 'On Demand'). DETAILS CLICK HERE ...
All you need is:
1 - Clean Pillow Case
2 - Bowls and 1 Tea Cup (that fit into each other)
1 - Jar Lid or Flat Small Dish
1 - Cloth Napkin (or Paper Napkin)
1 - Table Spoon
1 - Tea Spoon
1 - Small Cut Piece of a New Sponge
1 - Long Envelope
Tomorrow we will talk about how to use all that.
But I would like to mention food for the Retreat: We are each our own Tenzo (temple cook). I would prepare in advance simple yet nutritious foods (something that can be easily heated and served, as we do not have much time for cooking during the Retreat). Food is to be looked upon as medicine, support for our Zazen. All thought of luxury or poverty, good and bad, should be placed aside. We eat small, simple dishes ... in moderation. I would prepare a plain breakfast cereal, juice and perhaps tea for breakfast, and simple rice dishes, vegetable soups and steamed vegetables for lunch/dinner. Do not eat to fill oneself, and just what is healthful and necessary. Tea/Coffee and healthy snacks can be taken freely, in moderation, during break times.

Thank you, Dirk!
I forgot we had those talks in the library!
But unfortunately, Dirk, I cannot get those to play either. Oh well.
I just went back and re-recorded it all.
Oh well.
Hey Jundo.
can i use a vodka shot to fit in to the tea cup?
i know its a bit different but it is kinda beautiful if you think of it...
oh they work for me :S They are mpegs i believe. Any who its all good Thank you for re-doing :)
Gassho, Dirk -who-needs-to-practice-oryoki-alot!
No, Daniel. We do not mix alcohol and Zazen.
Gassho, The Zen-tender
i meant not actual alcohol but the shot glass itself.
it is small enough and fits like a glove :)
Oh, Okay. Well, Dan, yes you can use a shot glass ... but without the shot.
Hi Jundo, I still cant` get the regular sittalongs to work but this one did?? Tried reloading flash many times and spent half an hour or more on the phone to tech service but no go.
thank you.
and another thing are chopsticks needed?
and can i use something else instead of a sponge i cant seem to find a good one that could actually go to the mouth?
Brian,
This is Youtube, a different system. Are you using XP? I use Firefox browser and XP, and have no trouble. Maybe try a different computer? Do you have another available? Sorry that I have no answers for this one.
Dan, since you are a nurse, please find something else. Chopsticks are optional.
Sorry I am not much help tonight guys.
Gassho, Jundo
