Zazen Workshop

Date: Monday, November 22, 2021
Venue: Seishoji Temple in Minato City

Because of the pandemic, we were forced to limit the number of attendees to 13, after consultation with the temple on how to minimize the risk of infection.  All of the attendees came to the temple despite a rainy weather.

   Ms. WATABE, MC & chairperson of the Zazen Workshop Committee, gave the opening address, followed by a welcome speech by a representative priest of the Seishoji Temple.  Next, Reverend KAMADA Mukan gave a lecture on Zen and related experiences.  All attendees listened intently to his talk.

In the post-event questionnaire, most of the attendees expressed their experience very rewarding.  Specific comments included, “It was an extremely interesting experience which is not easy to get.”; “I’m interested to know what the next Zazen workshop will offer.”; “I’d like to join other MUA events as well.”
