ROHATSU is the annual celebration of Buddha’s Enlightenment. We emulate his supreme effort by sitting up all night on Saturday — outdoors weather permitting — and facing the East, where he saw the morning star, triggering his awakening. This year’s retreat is condensed into two days over the weekend. We will begin sitting Saturday morning at 9am, and then will join the regular program on Sunday AM.

All are invited to attend (at zendo or online) and follow the schedule as you are able. We recommend the overnight Saturday sit for those experienced in meditation. A recitation of selected teachings will be led by Elliston Roshi on Saturday afternoon. Plan to come for all or any part of the schedule.

Join us in person or online.
