Today we had one English class at KGN and then headed off to learn about Zen mediation and mindfulness from Mr. Kawakami, the head Buddhist priest at Shunkoin Temple. See his TedX Kyoto talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDMOc_WCTW0 It was a wonderful opportunity to learn from a mindfulness master. In addition, we had a vegetarian Buddhist lunch at Shigetsu restaurant in Tenryuji Temple and walked through the bamboo forest in Arashiyama. It was a busy and meaningful day!
