Denko-e Sesshin is part of a cycle of four traditional sesshins initiated by Kobun, Jikoji's founder, and s our traditional fall teaching sesshin, with a lighter zazen schedule and an emphasis on dharma study. Denko-e means "Gathering of Light."

Our study topic is “Genjo-koan (The Realized Universe)”, from Ehei Dogen’s Shobogenzo, Treasury of the True Dharma Eye. Dogen (1200-1250) presented this fascicle to his lay student Yo Koshu in 1233.  

Here are our Dharma Talks from the sesshin.
