CHANGES DURING THE ROHATSU RETREAT

11/30/2020

Our Rohatsu at-home retreat happens from Thursday evening through midnight on Monday. During that time, regular weekday morning zazen and service will not be happening, though you're welcome to participate in the retreat each morning instead. There won't be a dharma talk on Sunday, but again you're welcome to join the retreat for zazen instead during that time. The link to the retreat has been posted at left with the regular information on virtual practice.

Evening zazen will happen as usual on that Thursday, Friday and Monday with the link to that practice unchanged.

Following the usual dharma talk next Sunday (15th), we'll chant the Heart Sutra and dedicate the merit to harmony and wellbeing in the world. You can find the sutra in the chant book available for download toward the bottom of this page. Please chant along with your mic muted during the ceremony.

On the next evening (16th) we'll hold the monthly ryaku fusatsu, our ceremony of renewing our aspiration to follow the precepts. We'll start at 7:30 pm and should be finished by 8:30. The chants are in the chant book and you can also just listen and repeat. Everyone is welcome, whether or not you've formally taken precepts.
