Shao Shan Temple's Winter Practice concluded on March 17th with the weekend sesshin. This year, due to the muddy road conditions, online participation in the sesshin was also available.
The second half of the Winter Practice period continued with additional guest speakers revealing the teachings of Dogen Zenji's Genjo Koan and the ongoing extended practice schedule.
With deep gratitude to all the visiting teachers and to all who participated in this year's Winter Practice Period - may it be of benefit.

Enlightenment is like the moon reflected on the water. The
moon does not get wet, nor is the water broken. Although its light is wide and
great, the moon is reflected even in a puddle an inch wide. The whole moon and
the entire sky are reflected in dewdrops on the grass, or even in one drop of
water.
