LL – Introduction
Dear all, It’s snowing in Tokyo today, which makes this the perfect time to sit still for a second, something I could not manage during zazen this morning. I’m writing from a Zen temple in Shinagawa, a large suburb, where I arrived yesterday, marking the start of a two week stay. My room is in […]
