Tanjo-e Sesshin
Tanjo-e Sesshin is part of a cycle of four traditional sesshins initiated by Kobun, Jikoji's founder.
Jikoji gladly gathers each spring to practice together and to celebrate the birth of Shakyamuni Buddha during Tanjo-e Sesshin. All are invited to join the joy and ease of zazen meditation, the support of sangha and community, and the beauty surrounding the temple. A special family and children’s celebration ceremony with tea and cake, and offerings to the baby Buddha will be held on Sunday.
All are welcome! Please sign up below to register for the Sesshin. Oryoki meals are provided. You can request Oryoki instructions when registering, and we also recommend this video overview.
Those attending will be asked to help with some of the duties during sesshin, help with doan-ryo, help in the kitchen, help with serving meals and cleanup.
