臨済宗建長寺派 Man-pou-zan Kiitiji

Zen / Sutras

Zen meditation

We offer meditation sesssions, which includes sutra chanting. We stray from the intrinsic spaciousness of our minds, distracted by the many events and commitments in our lives. Zazen is the form of meditation that sits at the very heart of Zen practice, and allows us to connect to that spaciousness of the mind.

Sutras at Kiiti-ji

Just reading the sutras is believed to generate merit, and even more so when transcribing them, i.e. shodō. Shodō is a mediation practice in itself, with the movements of the hand reflecting the state of mind.

Please contact us before your arrive, especially if you are looking for a consultation with the abbot. We can also advise you on anything you may need or want to bring for your visit.
