Rohatsu Sesshin 2026
Monday, December 7- Sunday, December 13
All experience is preceded by mind,
Led by mind,
Made by mind.
Speak or act with a corrupted mind,
And suffering follows
As the wagon wheel follows the hoof of the ox.
All experience is preceded by mind,
Led by mind,
Made by mind.
Speak or act with a peaceful mind,
And happiness follows
Like a never-departing shadow.
These opening verses of the Dhammapada, the earliest teachings of Buddhism in India, encourages us to study mind and its power in shaping our lives, and the importance of our own actions, speech and thoughts. Rohatsu sesshin invites you to give yourself these days to enter deeply into the mystery of life.
Once you enter Rohatsu, stay until the end.
For a complete immersion in Rohatsu register for all seven days and sleep over at Zen Center. If your life activities are such that you cannot attend all seven days the minimum registration is three consecutive days ending on Sunday. You can register for seven, six, five, four or three consecutive days, with Sunday being your last day. If you have a unique situation speak with the Rohatsu leader, Tendo Stacy.
Registration closes on Monday November 16.
Print out and return the form below. There are also copies of the registration form on the Zen Center bulletin board.
