SUMMARY:Sejiki Ceremony\, CC 10/30
DESCRIPTION:Sejiki is a traditional Japanese Zen Buddhist ceremony for the spirits of departed ones. This powerful ceremony summons forth all restless spirits and pacifies agitation and violence within and without. It includes a reading of the names of close friends and family members who have died. \nWhile similar ceremonies are held in Japan during Obon\, San Francisco Zen Center has traditionally held Sejiki around Halloween\, a secularized religious tradition that acknowledges the dead and their continued connection to the living. \nThere is a moment in the ceremony when the names of people who have died in the past year are recited. If you would like to have a name included in the ceremony\, please email the City Center Ino at ccino@sfzc.org by Tuesday\, October 28. \nCostumes are wholeheartedly encouraged but not necessary. After the ceremony\, we will host a dinner in our dining room. Please register below if you plan to stay for dinner. The suggested donation is $15.00\, payable at the door. Cash\, check\, or Venmo. \nParents: children are welcome but please note that the ceremony includes loud\, cacophonous sounds and some scary imagery. \nRead the SFZC Sangha News blog post Sejiki Ceremony at City Center for more details.
