Sokukoji will be hosting a Denko-e Sesshin October 1-8, 2024.
Denko-e is Japanese for "Transmission of the Light", which is the traditional name that Sokuzan’s Zen Master, Kobun Chino Otogawa designated for a retreat held in Autumn each year. Each day begins at 5 am and ends at 9 pm, and includes Zazen, kinhin (walking meditation), a work period, a Dharma talk, and other awareness practices. Breakfast and oryoki lunch and dinner will be included. Online participants may participate in all forms including oryoki meals on Zoom.
