Healing Amid Nature and History — Hannya Shingyo Experience at Shoshazan Engyoji Temple —＜般若心経体験＞

Experience the Art of Heart and Mind Alignment through the Heart Sutra Calligraphy at Mt. Shosha Engyōji Temple Would you like to try a special meditative experience at the historic Engyōji Temple—copying the Heart Sutra (Hannya Shingyō) by hand? With over 1,000 years of history, this temple is surrounded by tranquil nature and is known as a place where the wisdom of Buddhism continues to live on. This Heart Sutra Calligraphy experience offers an authentic, approximately one-hour program—more profound than the “Flower Petal Sutra” session. Participants trace the lightly printed sutra text, writing each of the 276 characters with mindfulness and intention. The Heart Sutra has long been cherished as a practice for focusing the mind and cultivating spiritual discipline. Stepping away from the noise of daily life, this quiet environment allows you to calm your thoughts and gain inner peace and new awareness through deep concentration. After completing the experience, you can either take your finished sutra home as a keepsake or dedicate it to Nyoirin Kannon, the temple’s principal deity. It’s a perfect opportunity to experience traditional Japanese culture while seeking tranquility of mind. You can also combine this experience with other activities at the temple to create a personalized day of spiritual enrichment. ■ Experience Overview Availability: Year-round Approx. duration: 1 hour Please purchase your ticket and participate at your preferred time.
