Rohatsu Sesshin

Rohatsu 2023 Memorial Poem by Shodo Harada Roshi

In the four worlds wars everywhere while 40 people sit deeply the sesshin

The noisy news enters yet passes through like wind

Serene cold piercing through to the bones cutting all internal obstructions

Tasting this awakening of the Buddha the energy to liberate all arises
