Zazen Practice in Tokyo

I hold a Zazen class on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month at Tokyo University's Young Buddhists Association. At the classes we practice Zazen for 30 minutes, and afterwards I give a talk. Questions and discussions are welcome. Anyone interested can come and beginners are welcome (come a few minutes early if you need instructions). Attendance is free. Email me at procca@gol.com for more information.

The times are:

12:30 - 1 pm: Zazen

1:00 - 2:00: Talk


Upcoming dates in 2010:  September 11 and 25, and October 9 and 23.

Map and Directions

Here's a map with directions to the Young Buddhists Association at Hongo Sanchome from the Marunouchi or Oedo subway lines. Both lines run through Shinjuku station. The stop on both lines is called "Hongo-Sanchome". Click here for an English map.

Directions: from Hongo-sanchome station on the Marunouchi line, turn right after passing through the ticket barrier and follow the alley out to the main street. The building where the meetings are held is across the street. You can cross at the traffic lights on the corner (see map).
From Hongo-sanchome station on the Oedo line, take exit no. 5 and turn to the left after leaving the station. Follow the main street and then turn left again at the corner with the traffic lights (see map). The entrance to the Young Buddhists Association is next to the Nicos travel agency (just behind the bus stop). You'll see a "Zazen Practice" sign on the glass door at the entrance.
