Shakyo Sutra Copying Experience at Monk Bar in Tokyo

Duration

clock2 hours

Overview

    Are you looking for a truly unique experience in Tokyo- Join us and experience the long-standing Buddhist practice of shakyo at a "monk bar" in Nakano, the center of pop culture. Shakyo is a practice of hand-copying Buddhist sutras. It has long been part of religious training for Buddhist monks to purify their minds and accumulate merit, but now it's gaining a new-found appreciation among non-Buddhists as a way of meditation. Shakyo is often practiced at Buddhist temples or other formal settings, but in this 2-hour session, you can experience it at an intimate bar with the friendly guidance of a businessman-turned-priest. If you want a casual introduction to the deep and rich world of Buddhism, you should look no further than this!
