Rohatsu Sesshin at RYUMONJI 2023

ROHATSU Sesshin is an annual event when Zen students emulate the Buddha’s Enlightenment by sitting in silence for seven days. This year we spent these days (December 1 - 8) at Ryumonji Zen Monastery in Iowa with Abbot Shoken Winecoff. On the last day the Enlightenment Ceremony was combined with a Lay Entrustment and a Jukai.
