Let's start the experience right away.This time, I want to refresh myself while learning about Buddhism!Because of the request,
My stay plan consisted of bamboo forest meditation, Zen meditation, morning work, and stamp making.
First is bamboo forest meditation.Meditation surrounded by nature makes it very easy to concentrate.
They will teach you how to breathe slowly.
After that, you can practice zazen while lying down.Relax under a 600-year-old tree.
I was told that I could stay as long as I wanted without being restricted by time, so I took a nap. .
Before I knew it, I had been relaxing here for about an hour.
18:XNUMX Dinner
Dinner is a full course of Kuromine Gamecock.Surprisingly, the chief priest himself does the cooking.
These extremely rare gamecocks are raised with care and care at the local Hasugamine Farm, so they are fresh, very delicious, and can even be eaten rare.
There are many items, and the volume is perfect, making you very satisfied.
The food is very delicious, but the food at Shorakuji Temple is not only delicious.
As the menu says, the entire gamecock is cooked to make you feel the importance of life.
The chief priest will explain the cooking, and you will have time to think about what it means to receive life.
21:XNUMX Stargazing at night
After relaxing in the room after dinner, we went outside and watched the starry sky.
Shorakuji Temple is a little far from the city, so you can see the stars very beautifully.
The rooms have windows on one side, so you can enjoy reading while watching the night view or enjoying tea after dinner.
XNUMX o'clock morning work
The next morning, we will participate in the morning service (prayer) held at the main hall.
The chief priest will explain the sutras in easy-to-understand modern language, which will increase your interest in Buddhism.
I had only vaguely heard of the sutras until now, but I realized that they are filled with many important teachings.
7am breakfast
This breakfast is made with plenty of fresh and delicious ingredients such as locally produced rice, vegetables, and fish.
You can enjoy it in lacquerware that has been passed down from generation to generation at Shorakuji Temple and has been revived beautifully using lacquer.
If the weather is nice, you can eat outside.
9 o'clock Making Goshuin stamps
This is an experience of making your own goshuin stamp.
This experience was started with the hope that seeing the stamps you made would serve as an opportunity to remember your trip and the feelings you had at that time.
You can choose the type of washi paper, stamp, brush, color, etc. all by yourself.
As a memory of your trip, write down your motto and your feelings at that time.
