What we're about

We are part of the Karma Kagyu school, one of the three ‘old’ schools of Tibetan Buddhism. This school puts special focus on meditation practice and we offer regular guided meditations at our centre in Yoyogi Hachiman, Tokyo. Several times each year different Buddhist teachers visit us for public lectures and in-depth weekend study courses.
