Four guests who joined our tour last weekend went barefoot into the rice paddies with the support of local farmers.
Rice planting is a big event for those participating in local terraced rice field ownership. The guests enjoyed the precious experience of rice planting by being able to participate in a local activity. We were also able to see rice planting using machinery by the lake where they enjoyed cycling in the afternoon. They enjoyed the wonderful contact with the local people!
They said they would like to participate in the fall rice harvesting as well!

A warm welcome to Japan from Seattle.
It is a great honor that these Soto Zen practitioners visited us and chose Mount Hiei Enryaku-ji, where the founder, Dogen Zenji, practiced, as their first destination.

Led by Dai Ajari, we walked along the sacred pathway, visited several vital monasteries, and received a powerful Kaji incantation from him.

In such a serene atmosphere, we prayed for their safe travel and peace in the world.　
May such time of prayer continue indefinitely.
