Kyoto is a center of Japanese tea ceremony and Zen Buddhism. This month's KIZUNA event will be held at the heart of this, next to Daitokuji temple at Toutou-sha, a traditional wooden house and gathering-place for people interested in tea ceremony. First we will learn about Zen Buddhism from monk-in-training Paul Schumann before trying zazen (Zen meditation). Following this, Dairiku Amae of Toutou-sha will provide us with an experience in tea ceremony. Lastly, we will walk around Daitokuji, one of the great Zen temple complexes of Japan and temple-home of tea ceremony.
