Today we had a special meditation with Taka Kawakami at Shunkoin, where we learned about mindfulness and practiced some quiet meditation. We were treated to a garden tour and Japanese sweets with matcha green tea. In the afternoon, we had a special farewell Buddhist vegetarian lunch at Shigetsu inside Tenruyji Temple and toured the beautiful gardens and Bamboo Grove. We walked through the gardens of Ohkohchi-sanso and once again enjoyed green tea and traditional sweets. Despite the rain, it was a lovely day!
