This Saturday and Sunday, October 29 & 30, was a meditation retreat weekend. On beautiful sunny October days, dedicated practitioners joined for half-day or full-day sittings. The two day program included opening and closing ceremonies, zazen (sitting meditation), kinhin (walking meditation) and a dharma talk by Rev. Kenzan. October 29th was also Rev. Taihaku's birthday and sangha members donated to a birthday gift card for the vegetable garden seeds and movingly sang "Happy Birthday".
