Zazen is an opportunity to reflect on oneself.
This time, over a two-night, three-day retreat starting on Friday, we will guide you into the world of Zazen, covering everything from the basics—such as posture and etiquette—to lectures on Zen philosophy and koans, as well as a Zen cultural experience (details to be confirmed).
この11月の体験をきっかけに通常の坐禅会（土曜、日曜）を経て、毎月の定期接心へとステップアップしていきませんか。一歩を踏み出す皆様のお越しをお待ちしております。
