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
