Healing Amid Nature and History — Hannya Shingyo Experience at Shoshazan Engyoji Temple —＜般若心経体験＞
Discover the healing wisdom of the Heart Sutra at Shoshazan Engyoji, a sacred temple with over 1,000 years of history and surrounded by tranquil nature. Challenge yourself with Heart Sutra copying—a classic Buddhist practice that helps quiet the mind and cultivates focus. This beginner-friendly, one-hour program lets you trace the 276 characters of the Heart Sutra, each stroke carrying your prayers, wishes, or intentions. As you copy the sutra in the peaceful temple hall, you step away from daily distractions and enjoy calming moments that restore both body and spirit. Your finished sutra can be taken home as a personal memento or offered to the temple’s renowned principal image, Nyoirin Kannon. Perfect for mindfulness seekers, cultural explorers, and those wanting peace of mind, this enriching experience introduces you to the heart of Japanese tradition, deep reflection, and gentle healing. Combine this Heart Sutra copying session with other programs and design your own restorative day in Shoshazan’s scenic mountain setting. ■ Experience Details Availability: Year-round Duration: About 1 hour Location: Shosha-zan Engyoji Temple, Jikido Hall 2968 Shosha, Himeji, Hyogo 671-2201 https://maps.app.goo.gl/xXsYcyjBGhijFQJL6 Fee: 1,000 yen per sheet (tax included) Booking: Reservations accepted until 15:00 on the day of visit (Immediate payment after booking) ■ How to Book Click the “Book Now” button, select your preferred date, time, and number of participants, and follow the steps: Register or continue as a guest Enter participant information Enter credit card information Advance credit card payment required.
