座禅、静かな畳敷きの寺での本格的な座禅は今回が初めてだった。15分ほどの座禅を三回行う、胡座をかいても良いし、椅子に座っての座禅でも良い。和尚さんの禅の心の話を前後に聞けば、世の中の些事を忘れ、スッキリと新たな力をもらった気がします。筆で円相を描いたり、お茶も和菓子と一服いただけます。一度の体験をお勧めします。This was my first time of doing Zazen(Meditation)at special Tatami-mat room in the Buddhism temple,where has very calm feeling. It takes just 15 minutes with crossed-legged-seated(or on small-chair-sitting ) as one cycle practice—you do three cycles. Before and After you can listen to priests’s special speech in English. Simultaneously you can experience wrighting caligulafer(only one ideographs, Chinese character )and enjoy simple tea with Japanese sweets as well.I feel I could be free from any worldly sins and get mysterious energy after that . I recommend you to try it when you are in Kamakura.
