DENKO-E SESSHIN
October 15 - October 21. Denko-e Sesshin ("Transmission of Light Assembly") is one of four traditional sesshins initiated by Jikoji founder Kobun. Denko-e has a relatively lighter sitting schedule, with an emphasis on teaching and study, and how we carry our practice into our daily lives. The study topic is from the original teachings of the Buddha, the Satipatthana Sutta, or the “Four Foundations of Mindfulness.” This year, Denko-e will be co-led by teachers of Kobun's Phoenix Cloud lineage: Mark Adams, Cliff Isberg, Doug Jacobson, Michael Newhall, Dean Williams, and Dan Zigmond.

With Eric Remington & Doug Jacobson. We invite you to find stillness in the woods that cradle our temple. Our schedule features several outdoor excursions along our paths, alternating with periods of zazen and walking meditation with tea and a Dharma discussion. Nature Sesshin begins Wednesday, November 7, and will conclude Sunday, November 11, with our regular Jikoji Sunday Program, where sesshin guide Eric Remington will be giving the Dharma Talk. Buffet meals are included. Overnight accommodations are available. More information.
UPCOMING AT JIKOJI
Our Sunday Program is a weekly "open house" and a great way to become familiar with Zen practice and get to know Jikoji. Join us for instruction, meditation, dharma talk, social lunch, a sense of community (sangha), and access to beautiful open spaces.
