ROHATSU SESSHIN
- December 1–7, 2008
- Led by HZC Guiding Teacher, Gaelyn Godwin
Sesshin is an opportunity to gather the mind. The “Great Cold” sesshin, or Rohatsu Sesshin, is traditionally timed to coincide with the annual commemoration of the Buddha's enlightenment, which occurred the morning of December 8th when he woke up to see the morning star.
Each day will begin at 5:30 with meditation, followed by a period of stretching. A dharma talk is offered every morning. The last period of meditation ends at 9:00 p.m. All meals will take place in the zendo. Participation in part of the sesshin is possible if you cannot join for the entire 7 days. Participation in at least 2 one-day sittings is required before joining this sesshin.
The cost of the sesshin is $40 per day including meals. $30 for members of HZC. Scholarships are readily available; please call our membership director, Bruce McMills, at the Center.
