Got invited to join a meditation practice at a zen buddhist temple in the mountains near @zujapan last week.
The monk was super chill, drank lots of sake, had many big smiles and great jokes. He even took the time to sit us down separately and walk through their prayer book line by line and explain in english.
In total there were 12 of us from the popup city that went, 3 stayed the night. Maybe 10 other non-monk japanese were there. It felt like church but actually engaging, conversational, embodied, community oriented ăȘă©.
Our community got invited back in March for their next public session.
I fall in love with my area more and more everyday đâ€ïžâđ„
