Rohatsu Sesshin 2022


At Jikoji

Rohatsu Sesshin 2022

Friday, Dec 2 - Friday, Dec 9

Rohatsu Sesshin will be available in person. We look forward to practicing with you!

All are welcome!

______________________________

Jikoji would like to invite you to Rohatsu Sesshin, commemorating Shakyamuni Buddha’s enlightenment 2500 years ago with continuous transmission of the Three Treasures through the generations to the present moment. In honoring this tradition and the coming of winter, we take this time for reflection on this existence as it is. Come join the silence and persistence of practice.

Jikoji holds this silent sesshin with no daily services, no chants, and no talks. We invite you to join some or all of this sesshin. If you live in the area you can commute each day and still join us for meals.

Those attending will be asked to help with some of the duties during sesshin, help with doan-ryo, help in the kitchen, help with serving meals and cleanup.

Dokusan/practice discussion is possible.

Rohatsu Sesshin is now full. Please fill out the registration form to be put on the waiting list in case of a cancellation.
