Zazen Meditation -- At Bessho Onsen's Historical Anraku-ji Temple
Anraku-ji Temple : 安楽寺

Attend a Zazen Meditation Session at Bessho Onsen’s Historical Anraku-Ji Temple.

Eastern Nagano


Description

Put aside your daily troubles and discover your innerself via an early morning zazen meditation session at Bessho Onsen's historical Anraku-ji Temple. Sessions offered by appointment.


Recommendation

Zazen meditation can be done any time, any place. But what makes doing zazen in Nagano unique is that the stillness of the countryside here lends itself perfectly to doing meditation. Plus, we have some rather unique zazen meditation sessions here for you to experience.
Anraku-ji's 8-sided pagoda is a national treasure, and provides a powerful backdrop to your zazen meditation session.
