Sesshin Update: Winter 2021
The 2021 winter Rohatsu sesshin kept up the momentum from recent sesshins. It also featured dramatic weather right from the beginning. Torrential downpours led to 12 hours with no electricity forcing the group to do okyo and zazen by flashlights and candlelight. The rain turned into strong winds and clear skies by the end.
The crowd included 15 people, with one new student and several doing their second or third sesshin. In addition to the long hours of zazen, the group did intensive Hojo practice in the afternoons. Jackson Sayama was the jiki with assistance from Christine Cordero. Yumiko Sayama and Cristina Moon were the tenzos with help from Geraldine Abergas and Makana Tavepholjalern.
Next summer’s sesshin will be held July 4-10. Please let us know ASAP if you are hoping to attend.
