On Sunday, May 29, the meditation center of Japan was invited by Mr. Enomoto and his family to run a meditation class for Japanese in Hanamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture.
Ven. Tissaro educated the participants about the mind-placing techniques consisting of 3 different methods, i.e. 1. reciting Mantra, 2. emptying the mind, 3. visualizing an object. After that, he set 2 different meditation sessions; the first one lasted 15 minutes, and the second session lasted 30 minutes before running a conversation regarding to the meditation experiences which attracted the participants’ interest very well. They liked to start with a short meditation session and followed by a long session since they could adjust their body and wandering mind first which produced the comfortable, relaxing and tranquil experiences in the later session. The next meditation for Japanese session will be held on on Sunday, June 26 from 1:30PM-4:30PM local time.
