    Practice at Tosho-ji monastery

    Hi

    I will start practicing at Tosho-ji 洞松寺monastery from 8th at this month.

    About Tosho-ji.

    Toshoji | SOTOZEN.COM
    https://www.sotozen.com/eng/temples/foreigner/2-28.html
    Toshoji stands at Ota, Okayama prefecture. This page shows you the detail information of Toshoji.


    Practice about 1 year ,I think.

    24h practice with other monk,Zazen,eating ,chanting,cooking,Sho-do書道 writing,and so on.

    Anyway I am little bit tired ,now I am Tenryu-ji ,do Sesshin ,ordinary work(Samu)and Takuhatsu.

    I needed lots of money to go there.And I will be separated lots of time from family.

    Please encourage me..私を励まして下さい！

    Adding photo at Tenryu-ji.

                  Hi Kakunen

                  All the best to you during your stay and practice at Tenryu-ji. I think many of us live vicariously (I hope that word translates well in Japanese) through you and enjoy hearing and seeing your journey.

                              That’s amazing Kakunen. You demonstrate the endurance and determination in your practice that I wish to have. Please feel us all sitting with you at Tosho-ji.

                                      Thank you Treeleafer.

                                      But I will try to send letter to Jundo,if I have time.

                                      See you next and good luck all.

                                          The picture shows their new Roshi-Robot at Tenryu-ji, performing the Heart Sutra Ceremony for all sentient AI.

                                          That's a Japanese kerosene heater for the winter. Being from Florida, I really had not seen one until I came to Japan.
