Merry Buddha!



In the early morning hours of December 8th, Rohatsu sesshin finished after 108 hours of zazen.



In the evening, we had a small party for those who would start into the winter holidays the next day. This is traditionally the first day we start to use the wood stove in the dining room (the only room that is heated during the winter).



Sandwiches for the trip.



Outside, it is cold and still.



Only a few fanatics sat in the zen hall the next morning.



But then you can hear the noise of heavy machinery.



The abbot moves snow.



Muho



Time to make pictures: Yudai



Fujita



Tobi and Yudai



Every one gathers around the bulldozer.



Hirukawa, Tobi and Murakami



The Antaiji sangha, almost complete.



"Merry Buddha and a happy New Year!"
