One highlight of this retreat was also the unveiling of a Kanzeon Bodhisattva statue that was a gift from Ryuunji Temple in Japan (Shinjo). An "Eye-Opening Ceremony" for the new statue was part of the Sesshin. Other highlights included a dharma talk by Rev. Taihaku on teachings from her Japan trip and delicious meals from fresh garden produce!
