Shinnyo
070509, Wednesday
My Japanese friend invited me to go with her to the tempel Shinnyo where Shinnyo En is being performed. Shinnyo En is a form of buddhism founded by Shinjo Ito in the 1930's. This practice is not solely for monks but is open to everyone who wish to practice it. I am not a religious person so I have to admit that it felt a bit akward for me seeing all these people in belief, reading from "holy texts" in unison etc. It was definitely a new experience.
