23rd-27th March: Ojo Sange Sesshin held at TBH

This retreat, led by Dharmavidya, was the first event in the series of Five Sesshin. It was held in our Ojo Period when we remember important figures connected with the Amida Order who died at this time: Gyomay Kubose Sensei, Gisho Saiko Sensei, and Rev Amrita Dhammika. Sange means contrition. On this retreat participants addressed themselves to a series of self examination questions in order to make a life review. There was a gentle atmosphere throughout. The next event in this series will be the Anjin Sesshin 4-8 July at Amida France. There is a group on Friends of Amida for people interested in doing the Five Sesshin Training.
