Why don't you and your child take a moment during your summer vacation to take a little peek into the world of Zen at a small, historic zazen meeting in a quiet residential area near Shinjuku?　Sometimes the experiences we have in our childhood become memories that last a lifetime. We have planned this event in the hope of providing such an irreplaceable opportunity. On the day of the event, you will experience a short zazen session, a Zen talk by the abbot, and Zen calligraphy. Women will be on hand to provide support.

Every third Saturday of the month, we hold sesshin, an overnight intensive zazen practice from Wednesday evening to Sunday noon.
The December sesshin was held from Wednesday, December 17 through Sunday, December 21. From Wednesday to Thursday, after early morning zazen, participants returned to their normal daily routines, including leaving the dojo to go to work, and then returned to the dojo in the evening for zazen and overnight stay, spending time intensively facing their own selves.
