Come to the Lincoln Zen Center on Saturday, December 5th, 2026, and Sunday, December 6th, 2026, to celebrate Rohatsu/Bodhi Day, the day that Shakyamuni Buddha is said to have attained enlightenment meditating under the Bodhi tree.

Saturday celebrations will begin at the Lincoln Zen Center at 4PM, with a complementary sound bath courtesy of "Cosmic Craig" Imig. The sound bath is expected to last for 30-40 minutes, and will be followed by a vegetarian potluck/shared meal.

“Cosmic Craig” Imig is known in Lincoln for his modern dance performances, paintings, and serving customers at natural foods stores. Experience a feast for your ears, eyes and cells with frosted glass sound bowls, Himalayan metal sound bowls, ocean drums, rainstick and more. While some cushions will be available, you may bring your own cushion or yoga mat for your own comfort and relaxation (whether people can lie down on the floor may depend on the number of people who attend).  
 

For the potluck, you are welcome to bring whatever vegetarian food you may be interested in, and the sangha will share in the resulting meal. We should have a power strip to ensure you can keep your warm food warm, assuming you bring a crock pot, and utensils will be provided.  We will not have refrigeration. We will also be serving tea.

​

On Sunday, December 6th, our regularly scheduled practice starting at 10 AM will involve teachings by Dōgen Zenji on Rohatsu, and more!
