About Entsuji Haku-un Zazenkai

Just sit there

Members of the Entsuji Hakuun Zazen Association are welcome regardless of religion or sect.

"Just sitting in meditation"

We just sit there.

Members come to practice Zen not only from the local Tamashima area, but also from far away, such as Kurashiki, Okayama, Nadasaki, and Ibara.

I am steadily training with the spirit of "never rejecting those who come, and never chasing those who leave."

Please come and join us at the Zen meditation class, and if you are interested, please join us.
