SUMMARY:Morning Meditation Retreat at Secluded Shrine
DESCRIPTION:Spend the morning in a quiet calm and magical area of Kyoto\, hidden away from the crowds. We will practice a few forms of meditation throughout the morning to both relax and revitalize as Spring begins to flourish around Kyoto. Whether you are new to meditation or very experienced\, this morning retreat can offer adaptations to fit you. \n \nWe will meet at Tofukuji Station at 8am\, and walk together from there to Gosh-no-Taki Shrine. \nMeditation Guide: A Shingon Buddhist Priest\, who previously trained extensively in Zen and Thai Forest traditions. “Jishin” has about 20 years experience guiding meditations. With a PhD in culture and history of religions\, and experience teaching in several universities around the world\, Jishin has both the academic and insider understandings of Buddhism and Japanese religion. Previously a researcher at Tohoku University and Ryukoku University on Buddhist chaplaincy\, Jishin wrote about and volunteered in disaster and crisis care. Their books include Refuge in the Storm: Buddhist Voices in Crisis Care and A Thousand Hands: A Guidebook to Caring for your Buddhist Community. Jishin was also certified as a Clinical Meditation Teacher. \nFor Questions and Inquiries\, feel free to contact: \n \nOPTIONAL ADDITION: For an extra donation to the shrine\, those interested may also try “Taki-gyo” (waterfall meditation) after the retreat period. Taki-gyo is a about a 1300 year-old meditation tradition in Japan that involves chanting meditation while standing under a waterfall. The shrine will provide special clothing\, laundry service and a warm shower\, while Jishin will provide instructions. Please mention if you are interested in adding this unique experience.
