Rohatsu Retreat

Seien Roshi, Shozen Roshi, Jigen Sensei along with Kanchi Roshi invite you to Rohatsu Retreat in Salt Lake City in-person and virtually.

This retreat will be a fundraising event for Kanzeon. We are asking for Dana, our goal is to raise $20,000 to support the Kanzeon organization. Dana is based on your ability to donate and the value you place on receiving the teaching. It is also an expression of our appreciation and gratitude for the many years of teaching by Genpo Roshi. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. 

We will be joined on December 8th (Buddha's Enlightenment Day) by Genpo Roshi live on zoom from the Big Island of Hawaii.
