About This Event
Please join us for Nirvana Ōzesshin commemorating the death and entrance into Nirvana of Shakyamuni Buddha. Rinzai-ji is pleased to announce that Minakawa Rōshi from Jōshū Rōshi's ordination temple, Zuiryū-ji in Sapporo, is returning to lead the Nirvana Ōzesshin once again. There will be daily Teishō on Mumonkan and Sanzen.
起龍軒皆川彰久老師 (Kiryūken Minakawa Shyōkyū Rōshi) is abbot of Zuiryū-ji as well as recently founded Sapporo Zen Center in Hokkaido, Japan.
