DocWard Posted December 8, 2024 Share Posted December 8, 2024 (edited) 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. Edited December 8, 2024 by DocWard 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
