Jikan, Shel, and everyone,
I think I'm going to retire as the topic has moved on. Besides, I have some children I have to go save.

Re: Treeleaf Sangha
Hi Shel,
I can only speak for myself. No matter what, I sit everyday: in the morning and at night. This has been my practise for many years.

Re: Treeleaf Sangha
Hi. I’ll quickly do my best to respond. The content of the training: I have been in training for just a year. So far, we’ve concentrated on a study of Paul Williams’ text on The Doctoral Foundations of Mahayana Buddhism. We’ve also studied ritual forms, as outlined in the ‘Standard Observances’ and ...

Re: Treeleaf Sangha
Hi Shel,
You have many questions.
I have one, too.
Should I refer to you as praxis or Shel?

Re: Treeleaf Sangha
Hi Sara, Thanks for your post and questions, and the friendly tone in which they were posed. As a novice, my training has never been on my own. Take the training in forms, for example. Putting on and taking off the Okesa; use of the Zagu; Sanpai; sutra recitation: all this, etc, is rehearsed and reh...

Re: Treeleaf Sangha
Hi Shel, As interesting as it is to discuss our study and praxis over at Treeleaf, there's nothing quite like jumping in. Are you based in North America? We have a retreat planned for there sometime in the months ahead. When the details are available, I can send on the info to you if you like. I'm s...

Re: Treeleaf Sangha
Hi all, I really am not concerned with what you think about Jundo. I’m also not concerned about your history with Jundo. That has nothing to do with me. I speak for myself, not Jundo. (That said, in my experience, Jundo is fair-minded and, obviously, impassioned in discussion ... as are many of you,...

Re: Treeleaf Sangha
Thanks Jikan for the clarification. I understand now. You were not making a direct comparison between the Five Mountain Zen Order and Treeleaf. Rather you flagged that online ordination at Treeleaf is controversial in some quarters, which I know it is. Hi Shel. You asked about Shinkai leaving priest...

Re: Treeleaf Sangha
Hi Jikan,
Thanks for your reply. I understand that some find the ordinations at Treeleaf controversial. I know all about that controversy. Yep.
But you were making a comparison between Treeleaf and the Five Mountain Zen Order. In what sense are both similarly controversial?

Treeleaf Sangha
Hello all,
I'm new here and have just been looking around. I did a search on my own Sangha (Treeleaf, where I am an Unsui), and found this:
http://www.dharmawheel.net/viewtopic.php?f=69&t=11646
I was curious, in what way exactly is Treeleaf controversial?

Greetings from Dublin!
Hello all, I'm from Dublin, Ireland. I just signed up and wanted to say hello. I'm an Unsui at Treeleaf Sangha. I was ordained by Taigu Turlur at the end of Treeleaf's first winter retreat in Belgium, in December 2011. I took Jukai with Paul Haller Roshi of San Francisco Zen Centre in 2010. I starte...
