On the way to Kenchoji Temple from Kita
Kamakura Station, I explained about Engakuji Temple, which is located along the
street. As it was good weather and a
good time to see hydrangea at Meigetsuin Temple, and besides, some kind of
event might have been held at Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, the streets were so
crowded with many people and cars, which surprised our visitors. We were escorted to the meditation hall. The number of participants was 14 and almost
all of them were foreigners. We experienced
the Zazen meditation three times with English explanations, including short
breaks. After we completed the Zazen
meditation, I explained about Kenchoji Temple on the way to the station.
