December 1-7, 2024 Rohatsu Intensive
We have a limited number of places at the Appamada zendo. Please indicate on the response portion of the form whether you are applying for onsite, online or some combination. (Please be sure to specify which times you would like to participate onsite.)
Teachers: Laurie Winnette and Kim Mosley
The theme of this intensive is Rohatsu: Barriers and Pathways For Enlightening Activity.
Enlightening activity sometimes happens spontaneously. However, we can also prepare ourselves by engaging in certain activities and developing specific attitudes that encourage arising. Some examples of these pathways include the Four Noble Truths, the Six Perfections and the Refuges.
Conversely we can create barriers to enlightened activity, such as the Four Obstacles, the Five Desires, the Five Hindrances and the Near and Far Enemies.
Please join us for Buddha’s Rohatsu Integrated Intensive, where we will explore these barriers and pathways together.
As always, each day will include a dharma talk, kinhin, practice discussion, and group dharma activity. The schedule will be as follows:
Sunday, December 1: 6-9pm
Mon-Fri, December 2-6: 6:30am-8am and 6-9pm
Saturday, December 7: 6:30am-5pm
-
Please bring a sack lunch on Saturday. As usual, a table with snack food and refreshments will be available in the side room.
As with all intensives, we ask you to participate wholeheartedly—by being present, coming from your heart and showing curiosity and care—and that you follow the schedule completely. For each session and after each break, please find your seat at least 5 minutes before the session starts.
We expect that you will attend the entire intensive. If for some reason you are unable to do so, please contact Laurie (512-576-0604).
If you can participate by taking on a role in support of this special intensive, please indicate your willingness to do so in the comments section on this registration form.
All sessions will be hybrid - in person at the Appamada zendo and online via zoom. A zoom link will be shared in the Appamada calendar.
This intensive is offered through the generosity model. All are welcome at Appamada and this intensive is without a set fee. However we do rely on the generosity of the community to sustain the day to day operations of our sangha. Appamada thrives because of your generosity. Please contribute what you can.
Entrusted teachers are not paid for the hours they spend studying, researching and teaching the dharma for an intensive. Please consider a generous dana offering to the teachers in gratitude for the time and effort they have given.tion text goes here
