Zazen - Myorakuji Temple
博多旧市街Inner tranquility — seated meditation at an old temple
Myorakuji is a temple of Rinzai sect’s Daitokuji school of Japanese Zen Buddhism. Constructed in 1316, the temple is also known as a place of origin of Uiro sweets. Zen teaches you should adapt to nature and zazen meditation is a measure to calm your mind. Monks do austere training to reach satori, ‘identifying the self.’
Thoughts on Hakata Old Town
Myorakuji Temple opens its door to the public for zazen experience. Even beginners are able to join as the head monk kindly teaches how to practice. Getting away from the bustle of everyday life, why don’t you try out a spiritual journey by practicing zazen at a serene Zen temple?
