A sesshin is a traditional Soto Zen meditation retreat that includes sitting and walking meditation, Dharma talks, work periods (samu), private interviews (dokusan) with teachers, oryoki meals, and teas. Rohatsu ("eighth day of twelfth month" in Japanese) commemorates the historical Buddha's realization.
Rohatsu Sesshin / Saturday 12/5 & Sunday 12/6
While we hope you'll be able to attend the entire sesshin, you are welcome to attend any portion(s) of the two-day schedule your obligations will allow. (For those who wish to stay overnight Friday or Saturday, accommodations will be available to sleep in the zendo.)
The sesshin's general schedule is as follows:
- Saturday: Sesshin begins at 6:30am and ends at 8:30pm
- Sunday: Sesshin resumes at 6:30am and ends at 5:30pm
Detailed schedules for each day of the sesshin are available on our web site (click here), as well as information about suggested fees (click here).
If you plan to participate, please let us know in advance by using the RSVP link below and answering a short survey, so we can plan for teas, meals and otherwise make the needed arrangements.
We hope to see you here! |
