International Zazen Meditation

Hello. This is Maho from Osaka Hana Hostel:)

I have a question. Do you know Zazen?

It is Buddhist teaching. 

Zen is about finding yourself ( finding out who your really are), as well as finding truth - not worshipping others, but believing in yourself, knowing " who you really are," being yourself, living in your own way. These are the goals of Zen.

Shitennoji ( temple ) will hold an International Zazen meditation for foreigners to know Buddhism. 

The instructor speaks both English and Japanese.

If you would like to experience Zazen, please go to Shitennoji Honbo Kyakuden by the start time.

*People who are late for the time can not participate.

-The date of Zazen-

●2019 June 8th Saturday, Start from 1:00pm ～ it takes 60 minutes
　People who want to join our Zazen, please come to Gojyu-no-to Pagoda befor start.

You should try Zazen for finding yourself😌
