Nehan-e is our annual silent meditation retreat held in honor of the Buddha’s entering parinirvana, nirvana beyond death. This year, our week-long sesshin will again be led by Carolyn Dille, a transmitted student of Jikoji's founding director Angie Boissevain, continuing our tradition of a Floating Zendo connection to Jikoji's Nehan-e. Portions of out Monday program will be led by Paula Jones, from Floating Zendo San Diego. Nehan-e this year focused on our bodhisattva vows, with the help of Shantideva’s “Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life.”
