We will begin at 8 a.m. with the Parinirvana Day Ceremony. At 10 a.m., Chigan Roshi and Hokuto Sensei will offer dokusan on Zoom to as many students as possible. In-person participants will share a formal jihatsu lunch (saiza). We will resume with zazen at 2 p.m. and a teisho by Shinge Roshi at 3 p.m. on the significance of Parinirvana Day and Eido Roshi’s teachings on This Great Matter.
