DocWard Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Happy Bodhi Day everyone. While the date moves in some traditions based upon the lunar calendar, once Japan moved to the Gregorian calendar, Rohatsu - literally the eighth day of the twelfth month - began being celebrated on December Eighth in Japan and some other Mahahana traditions. So, today I will celebrate the enlightenment of Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha. A meal of rice and milk, meditation this evening, and my daughter will make me a batch of leaf shaped cookies because I am a kid at heart. Unfortunately, work also calls.

DocWard Posted December 9, 2021 Author Share Posted December 9, 2021 Thank you, everyone, for the well wishes. I had a good day, despite needing to work. It went mostly as planned, and I extended my meditation time beyond my normal successfully. Perhaps one of these days I will feel I am up to attending a one day sesshin, basically a day long meditation practice, but that day is far in the future. May everyone be safe, may everyone be happy, may everyone be healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
