Rohatsu 2015: All Night Sit

Rohatsu2014.COMPLETE_01

On Monday evening, December 7th the Village Zendo will host an all-night meditation retreat starting at 8:30 pm and continuing until 7:00am Tuesday morning. Please arrive at 8pm.

Rohatsu is the traditional commemoration of the historical Buddha’s enlightenment. It is a time of gratitude and deep practice. Join Ryotan Sensei and the Village Zendo sangha for a night of zazen, kinhin, a late night dharma talk, teacher meetings, and refreshments.

Your are welcome to spend only part of the night with us if that is best for you. We understand that Rohatsu falls on a weekday this year, and many will have to go to work the next day. Please note that you may leave the building at anytime, but there is no entry or re-entry after 10pm. If you plan to come for part of the night please arrive promptly at 8pm so there is time to settle in. Better yet, plan to spend the whole night. We sit in solidarity with Shakyamuni the historical Buddha, and with Buddhists all over the world who sit all night in Rohatsu.

If you have not sat in long meditation retreats before, please consider our monthly Zazenkai to start out, rather than Rohatsu. In any case, all are welcome.

$25 for members $50 for non members (Online registration below…)
