The Rohatsu Sesshin is a meditation retreat held annually at Shao Shan Temple the first week in December. This is a time of concentrated practice to commemorate Shakyamuni Buddha’s enlightenment
upon seeing the morning star.
This year, Rohatsu Sesshin was from November 29th to December 6th, with each day focused on sitting and walking meditation. In addition, there were delicious garden vegetable meals and Oryoki breakfast. Each afternoon included a dharma talk -- this year the series of talks was based on the
Seven Factors of Awakening.
