Transcript: 

On February 20 and 21, 1960, we had the first Sesshin of this Temple, and we will have the second sesshin on August 22 - 28, 1960.

Just to join this Sesshin is incomparably deep, no matter what your state of mind may be.

We don't expect anything of this Sesshin but to practice as a Buddhist.

I wish we will be an eternal friend of the student of Buddhism.
