The four day sesshin will settle onto The Great Matter—Life and Death. The lectures will explore how this is not different from the Buddha’s teaching of “no beginning and no end.”

Sesshin consists of meditation, oryoki meals, work practice and lectures. Download the sesshin schedule here.

Please plan to attend a minimum of two consecutive days.

We will end on the last day with lunch, and then enact the Parinirvana Ceremony along with the larger Santa Cruz Zen Center Sangha.
