Description

Please note: This full moon ceremony takes place on the first night of our five-day Rohatsu Sesshin. Everyone in the community is welcome to attend, whether or not you’re sitting the retreat. We ask those not attending sesshin to honor the quiet and contemplative spirit of the retreat.

The Full Moon Ceremony is an ancient ritual practiced since the time of Shakyamuni Buddha. In this ceremony, we come together as a sangha to give voice to our aspirations, renew our agreements to live in harmony, and offer gratitude to our teachers. This beautiful ceremony deeply touches the minds, bodies, and hearts of all who participate.

Schedule:

  • Arrive by 7:15 PM
  • Full Moon Ceremony: 7:30–8:15 PM

This traditional ceremony involves bowing and chanting in a call-and-response format, making it accessible for newcomers. You’re welcome to adapt the bows in whatever way works for your body.

Health & Safety: Please be mindful of others’ health concerns. If you’re feeling unwell, please stay home. If you have any doubts about your health, please wear a mask.

Note: This event will not be live-streamed. No registration required.
