A unique priest

  Yesterday afternoon, I went to a hall that is at Mabi-town to attend a meeting held by the Soto sect in Okayama.

First we had a chair meditation of Zen Buddhism for about twenty minutes to settle down our heart.

The hall was very very quiet and silent during the event.

After that,  we had a very good time listening to a lecture by a priest of Ko-yo-ji in Kumamoto.

He is a very good guitarist and a singer as well.  

He belonged to a light music club during college days.

He is a preacher of the zen sect and the style of talk was like Ki-mi-ma-ro who is popular now.

He talked about the importance of life and said we should thank to everyone.

We all laughed and laughed.

Last we sang a song by him together. 

It was a pleasant meeting and we enjoyed very much.
