One-Day Zen Combo: Yoga, Zazen & Sutra Transcribing

Hello! I run the Sapporo Zen Map project, which helps make Zen practice more accessible for foreign visitors and residents in Sapporo.

Meeting:
1:30 PM at the parking lot of Ho-koh Ji

Access:

• By bus: Board at Kita 34-Jo Station (Subway Namboku Line) at 12:50.
  Take Hokkaido Chuo Bus [Route 東76]
  Get off at Kita Okadama 4-Jo 1-Chome (then a 5-minute walk).
• By car/taxi: Easy to reach.

Activities (approximate times):
2:00 - 5:00 PM at Ho-koh Ji

• 60-minute Yoga session
• 60-minute Zen sitting session
• 15-minute Sutra transcribing
• 15-minute small tea gathering

Fee:
Free (donations welcome)

Preparation:

• Wear comfortable clothing
• Bring a bottle of water

This is not a tourist-oriented event. It’s a regular activity for locals, and you can join to experience authentic Zen practice in Japan.

It’s quite rare to do Yoga, Zazen, and Sutra transcribing all in one day.

Worried about:

• Etiquette or manners?
• Japanese language skills?
• What to bring or prepare for meditation?
• What the experience is really like?

No worries—I’ll be there to support you throughout the session.

If you’re interested, just let me know. You can decide whether to join after reading the details.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
