SUMMARY:3-Day Rohatsu Sesshin
DESCRIPTION:“…when we practice zazen\, it is not that big mind is actually controlling small mind\, but simply that when small mind becomes calm\, big mind starts its true activity.”  ~Suzuki Roshi \nThis multi-day\, non-residential retreat is an opportunity to set aside the concerns of daily life for two and a half days\, giving all your attention to your sitting practice and taking care of yourself as you would take care of a guest. The schedule will include sitting and walking meditation\, breaks and Dharma talks. Vegetarian meals will be served in a modified oryoki-style for lunch and dinner on Friday and Saturday. Oryoki is the traditional 3-bowl way of serving and eating meals together in silence.\nSchedule: Friday & Saturday\, 9 am – 9 pm.; Sunday\, 9 am – noon.\nCost:  $60 for full sesshin; $30 per full day; $15 per half day (scholarships available)\nRegister on a Monday night with So-On Jim Hare.
