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.
