This was a new project for KSGG. Three visitors and 4 KSGG members joined the
Zazen meditation at Dokuonji Temple. The
visitors were an American couple and a Chinese student of Yokohama National
University. They applied to KSGG for
guiding through a Website. At Dokuonji
Temple Zazen meditation sessions starts at 19:00 and ends at 20:30 on the first
Saturday every month. This time 30
people including regular participants joined and the chief priest said that it
was the session which the most participants ever joined. The 15-minute Zazen meditation with a break between
each session was held three times. At
first the American couple were tense, but gradually they got accustomed to it
and in the third session they requested the chief priest to smack them. All of us could deepen friendship with one
another through these sessions.
