Today I am sharing the Dharma Talk that I offered during O-An Zendo’s Rōhatsu Sesshin. “Rōhatsu” is one of the terms used for an assembly on the occasion of Shakyamuni Buddha’s Enlightenment. Every year, Buddhists, the Buddha-curious, and spiritual practitioners generally gather to practice and celebrate what is otherwise called “Bodhi Day,” and marks the turning of the Dharma Wheel in this world.
