Fuuさんの『少林寺座禅』開講のお知らせ！

『禅リズムCafe』でお世話になっておりますアメリカ出身のFuuさん（ハワイの中国系の臨済宗のお寺で得度を受けられた和尚さん）に『少林寺座禅』の指導を７月１８日（土）の午後３時からして頂く事となりました。
Ｆｕｕさんへの謝礼は、お一人５００円とさせて頂こうと思っております。

また、その時には、お寺を開放致しますので、受講するしないに関わらず、お寺で木魚を叩いたり、中庭の濡れ縁で、なごんで頂くなど、しばらくお寺でのんびりして頂ければと思っております。宜しくお願い致します。合掌


ただ、Ｆｕｕさんも自分の思いが日本語で表されているか不安をお持ちです。原文としましては、下の英文をお読み頂けたらと思います。
Shorinji Zazen,
In the Chinese study of Zen Buddhism (Zenshu), it is not just a enlightenment or mind calming meditation practice, it is a full body practice. We as people do not just live in this world purely in Spirit. We have three levels of existence, mind, body and spirit. In the practice of Chinese Zen-Shu we seek to bring and to keep the three levels of our life, existence in harmony. We sit Zazen to calm and refresh the mind, we do motion Zen to keep the body healthy, we Chant Amida Buddha to uplift, refresh and connect to Buddha spirit of the Pureland.

The combined practice of ZaZen and Jodo-shu Buddhism, puts us on the path to the Pureland in this life and the next.
