The 'KI-ZU-NA' event for the month of March was a "Zen Meditation Class in English Experience at Shunkoin Temple!"
At Shunkoin Temple, participants first listened to a lecture on Zen Buddhism, given in English by Reverend Takafumi Kawakami, and then experienced a session of zazen (Zen meditation). They were also taught how to incorporate the philosophy and practice of Zen into everyday life, before being introduced to the concept of " Omotenashi " as the heart of the Japanese-style hospitality over a cup of tea. This event proved an excellent opportunity to learn about Japan's spiritual culture and to get to know other students.
