Rohatsu

Austin Zen Center lists its Rohatsu retreat for December 4–12, 2026, held in person and described simply as an annual sitting retreat culminating in a celebration of the Buddha's enlightenment on the 12th. Rohatsu is the traditional early-December intensive sitting period observed at Zen centers, marking the Buddha's enlightenment; this center's observance closes with that celebration on December 12.

The listing is minimal, and several things a prospective participant would want to know are not yet published: the daily schedule, the teachers, the fees, whether overnight lodging is available, and whether the retreat is held in silence. Registration is marked "coming soon" — check with Austin Zen Center for the full posting before making plans.
