Intensive five-day Sesshin led by Chigan-kutsu Rōshi via Zoom
We are honored to welcome back Chigan-kutsu Kyō-On Dokurō Jaeckel Rōshi to lead the Ho-on Memorial Sesshin via Zoom in honor of the Founder of Rinzai-ji, Denkyō-shitsu Kyōzan Jōshū Rōshi. This sesshin will commence on Monday evening, July 15 at 7 PM (PDT) and conclude on Saturday, July 20 at 9 PM. The memorial service will be held on Sunday, July 21 at 11 AM, followed by Hauryo Sasaki’s first-year memorial service. This event will be Rinzai-ji’s primary celebration of our beloved founding abbot, and we hope all members of the Sangha who are able to will participate.
The sesshin will be a hybrid online/in-person retreat, including teishō (Dharma talks) and dokusan (optional personal interviews) with Chigan Rōshi. The schedule will include offline time for meals, work practice, and kinhin (walking meditation). We look forward to practicing with you soon!
