Rohatsu

[DocWard]

Happy Rohatsu, or Bodhi Day, everyone.

 

For those that don't know, today is the observation of the enlightenment of Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha. Rohatsu translates from Japanese as "the eighth day of the twelfth month," and for Zen and many Western Buddhists, is observed on December 8 every year. For those that follow the lunar calendar, it moves from year to year. Maybe someday I will have the time, energy and wherewithal to do a week long sesshin, which is a meditation retreat. For now, I'm content with observing the day.
