We’ll join a Zen experience event at Zengein Temple in Shugakuin, Kyoto.Feel free to join us if you’re interested!
🗓 Sunday, May 24
🕐 Meet at 12:50 PM
💴 Fee: ¥1,000
While enjoying the fresh green scenery of a garden designed by Kobori Enshu — a famous Japanese landscape designer and tea master of the Edo period — we will practice either:
• Shakyo (sutra copying): hand-copying Buddhist scriptures as a form of meditation
or
• Shabutsu (Buddhist image tracing): tracing a Buddha image mindfully and quietly
Afterward, we will chant sutras together with the monk, and finish with matcha green tea and traditional Japanese sweets.
Understanding Japanese will help you enjoy the monk’s talk more, but even without Japanese, you should still be able to fully experience the calm atmosphere of Zen.
A nice chance to enjoy a peaceful afternoon in Kyoto.
