Plum Mountain News Volume 22.4 Winter 2015-16 Plum Mountain News Seattle Rohatsu Sesshin 2015 Dear members and friends, The sun is shining as I write this, but, as all of us in the Pacific Northwest are aware, we have had a great deal of rain so far this winter, and happily the nearby mountains are getting a heavy snow pack. Our Rohatsu Sesshin the first week of December was outstanding. We had a very strong group and retreat at Camp Indianola on the Kitsap Peninsula, with 35 people attending from three countries and seven states. This may have been our last Rohatsu at Camp Indianola; I don’t know. I do know that next year’s Rohatsu will be held at The Gwinwood Retreat Center just north of Olympia, WA.

  • Southwind Sangha Sōtō Zen Association Etiquette
    Southwind Sangha Sōtō Zen Association Etiquette www.southwindsangha.org Introduction The meditation hall (Japanese: zendō) is the focus of our group (Sanskrit: sangha). Observing etiquette helps us be mindful with our practice and supportive of others in theirs. These are guidelines for practice. Forgetting them or making mistakes doesn’t warrant humiliation or embarrassment. We consider our practice to be an opportunity to learn more about ourselves, others in the sangha, and our world. It’s not faultlessness that counts – it’s effort and attitude. Mindfulness with our practice transfers to the world outside of the zendō. Preliminaries • Be on time. Arrive ten minutes before sitting meditation (Japanese: zazen). Not being hasty helps create an atmosphere of calmness that helps everyone settle into zazen and allows mindfulness to develop. • Remove your shoes. Stockings are optional. Some people prefer to sit without socks, because they find that cross- legged positions are easier without them. • Wear loose-fitting clothing so that you can sit and breathe comfortably. • Clothing colors should be muted so as not to be distractive. Clothing with words, pictures, etc., should not be worn, as they distract others. • Avoid distracting jewelry and scents. • It’s better not to wear a watch; leave it in your car or pocket. The monitor (Japanese: ino) will keep track of time. • Turn off cell phones and pagers or other devices that might disturb meditation. • Please keep talking to a minimum before meditation. • You will often see others bowing with palms together (Japanese: gasshō). This is a sign of respect and gratitude. The Zendō • When entering the zendō, bow in gasshō at the threshold.

We have been receiving a lot of rain this season, but last week there were three sunny days in a row when I was able to bike ride down to Seward Park and back each day. Our Zen garden is sublime this time of year, so well tended by many Chobo-Ji gardeners, most especially our Zen resident Sally Zenka Metcalf, who provides inspiration and instruction. Spring Sesshin was steady and strong, with 21 participants. Everyone did his or her part to facilitate deep inquiry into our true nature. Anne Sendo Howells oversaw our structure and samu (work future spending priorities. You will hear May 27th.
