“Zazen” practice course without reservation
Every month we offer an English guided Zazen course on a predefined date.
This course starts at AM 10:00 and takes two hours, including a guided tour of the monastery at the end. This monthly program is open for everyone and suitable for complete beginners.
The fee is 500 JPY.
(No reservation is required to attend this program.)
The English guided Zazen course on August 31st has to be canceled because of the taifun No.10. We are very sorry and hope for your understanding!
The monthly English guided Zazen course will not be held in September, October and November because of several events and ceremonies for the 700th memorial service of Sojiji’s founder Zen Master Keizan.
