At a small historical zazen meeting in a quiet residential area near Shinjuku,Why don't you and your child take a moment during your summer vacation to take a little peek into the world of Zen? Sometimes what we experience as a child becomes a memory that lasts a lifetime. We have planned this project in the hope of providing such an irreplaceable opportunity.
The day will include a short zazen session, a Zen talk by the abbot, and Zen calligraphy. Women will be on hand to provide support.
