Study Japanese through books on Buddhism

On March 11, 2011, an earthquake and tsunami of historic proportions struck off the northeast coast of Japan, wreaking extreme devastation.International reports on the disaster were almost universally marked by admiration for both the selflessness of rescuers and the orderliness and gratitude with which refugees took up lives in crowded emergency shelters.The French paper Le Monde pointed out that Japanese learn from childhood the inevitability of change, which is a central tenet of Buddhism.Many books on Buddhism philosophy are now translated into English.We study Japanese and Buddhism philosophy by reading those books.Meetings are mainly held at a cafe in Takadanobaba or Shibuya.We also attend Buddhism lectures by Buddhist missionary on Skype.
