JIKOJI DECEMBER
Rohatsu Sesshin 2017
December 3 - 10
Rohatsu Sesshin is the traditional winter sesshin commemorating Buddha's enlightenment. Rohatsu will begin with the usual practice form - zazen, kinhin, talks, service, chanting - followed by days of silent, intensive practice. Led by Doug Jacobson. For more details, schedule, registration info, please click here. Hope to see you soon.
First Saturday Zazenkai
A Full Day Intensive: 9am-5pm
As in training our bodies, the key to training our minds is varying the intensity of practice. Every First Saturday of the month, we offer Zazenkai, a day-long dive into intensive, silent practice, deepening our Zen meditation.
If you're thinking of attending a sesshin or extended retreat, Zazenkai is a wonderful introduction to intensive practice. Lunch will be served. More info.
