Kobun Memorial Sesshin

Wednesday, July 27th - Sunday, July 30th

Led By Jikoji Guiding Teacher Dan Zigmond

Join us as we spend an extended weekend honoring the memory of Jikoji's founder Kobun Chino Otogawa Roshi. This year, our Kobun memorial will be held at Jikoji and will also be available over Zoom.


We begin Thursday evening with a social dinner, followed by some periods of sitting. Our formal program starts Friday, with a full day of sesshin-style sitting. Saturday continues with our sesshin format throughout the lunch period. After lunch, our traditional afternoon Kobun Readings begin, with a discussion of selections from the Kobun Archive.

Our special Kobun weekend continues into Sunday morning. During our regular Dharma Talk, we will have our traditional Memorial Service and Procession to the Kobun memorial site and offer incense while chanting the Daihi Shin Dharani.

Cost:  
For those joining the sesshin on site, the cost is $85/per overnight, camping is $40/per overnight, and $40/per day for daytime visits (no overnights.)
