Shodo (Japanese Calligraphy) Experience

Zen Buddihism began almost 2.500years ago when Budda achieved enlightenment through Zen meditation in India. After that, it was handed down from India to China by Daruma. Since then,”Zen”has been established.
“Zen”which was handed down India to China, says that, “All people are born with the heart of Buddha.” It’s important to realize the beart of Buddha by Zazen and any other of his trainings. In other words, “accept yourself as you are.”

Lately, people have been getting stressed and antsy due to Information society. We can easily contact anyone who lives abroad by using social network services. Our hearts are more connected than ever.
Steve Jobs  was an enthusiastic practioner of Zen. Apple inc.and the iphone help us express the heart of Zen. They have made it simple and efficient.
Nowadays,”Mindfulness relaxation” has been incorporated mainly in the companies in Silicon Valley. People in these companies know that taking the time for Zen is better for their creativity and productivity.
