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 was well-attended with the Zendo being completely full for several sections. The first half of the sesshin was in-person only and the second half was "hybrid" - option for in-person or online participation. The sesshin included opening and closing ceremonies and each afternoon included a brief dharma talk.
