Rohatsu marks the awakening of the Buddha. What he awakened to was not an idea or doctrine, but the nature of suffering and the possibility of freedom.
For five days, we will enter silence and zazen together, closing on the day of the Buddha’s awakening.
We sit not to achieve something, but to come into direct contact with what is. Through zazen, kinhin, teaching, and meeting, we stay long enough to see what keeps the wheel turning—and what becomes possible when we no longer follow it blindly.
