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.
