MEDITATE ONLINE via Kadampa Meditation Centre Tokyo

Dear meditators,

I hope this finds you and your loved ones safe and well during these challenging times.

As a result of the pandemic, we have suspended meditation classes in Osaka until further notice. However, the Resident Teacher of Kadampa Meditation Centre Tokyo, Gen Losang Kelsang, has very kindly agreed to teach classes remotely on a regular basis. This is a unique opportunity to receive Buddhist teachings from the comfort of your own home while deepening your meditation practice with a seasoned expert (his biography can be found here: https://www.kadampa.jp/about-us-en/#class_301).

• The classes are being streamed as pre-recorded videos in English with Japanese subtitles.

• Two types of classes are being offered. The first is aimed at beginners (entitled “Meditation & Buddhism Classes for Beginners”), and the second at those with more experience (entitled “Meditation & Buddhism Classes In-Depth”). A new class for each type is scheduled to appear online each week.

• Occasionally, half-day courses will also be offered.

• The upcoming schedule, as well as all video sessions, may be accessed via the Tokyo KMC website here: https://www.kadampa.jp/en/

• Four important points to note:
  (1) Each class is available for only a limited period (as indicated in the schedule).
  (2) A passcode is required to authorise viewing (copy and paste as per website instructions).
  (3) KMC Tokyo operates entirely on donations. However small, please try to offer a financial contribution each time you download a session so that we can continue to provide meaningful teachings in Japan (via PayPal as per website instructions).
  (4) The videos are for viewing only within Japan.

Fingers crossed it won’t be too long until regular classes in Osaka can resume. In the meantime, stay safe -- and happy meditating!

Warm wishes,
Matt
