Rohatsu Sesshin

Celebrate Buddha's Enlightenment

Dec. 3 -9

We will sit together for seven days beginning Thursday, December 3 through Wednesday, December 9.

In this yearly retreat we are mirroring the intensity of Buddha's meditation under the Bodhi Tree. So if possible, sign up for a minimum of two consecutive days.

There will be a Dharma talk each day, a daily work period, and formal oryoki meals. On the evening of Wednesday, December 9, those in attendance will enact Buddha's Enlightenment Ceremony.

The suggested donation is $35 daily for Sustaining Members, and $40 daily for all others. But your participation is what we value the most, so please contribute only what your budget will allow.
