All Reviews for Shojin Ryori

I visited as a reward for myself and my mother. On the day of our visit, there was snowfall, and we arrived about five minutes late, but both on the phone and in person, we were greeted warmly.

The view of the garden from the room felt like time had stopped due to the snow. Even during zazen, I could hear the sound of melting snow, and afterward, my mind felt very clear.

The shojin ryori (Buddhist vegetarian cuisine) was also very delicious.

The monk seemed busy. He had returned from Tokyo the day before and went out somewhere before we left. Perhaps due to his busyness or the cold, there was no samu (work practice).

During the dharma talk, I was asked if I had any questions, and I was so caught off guard that I couldn't answer, which was very disappointing. Next time, I would like to take a bit more time to study before I go. Thank you very much.

自分と母へのご褒美に訪問させて頂きました。
当日は積雪があり、到着時間が5分ほど遅れてしまいましたが電話先でも訪問した際も快く対応して頂きました。

居室から見えるお庭の景色が、積雪でより時間が止まったような感覚がありました。坐禅中も雪解けの音が聴こえ、終わったあとは頭の中がとてもスッキリしました。

精進料理もとてもおいしかったです。

和尚さんは忙しそうでした。
前日に東京から戻られ、私たちが退出する前にどこかへお出かけされました。
忙しさからか、寒かった為か作務はありませんでした。

また法話の際に何かありますか？と聞かれ、突然の事で何も答えられずとても残念でした。次回はもう少し時間をかけて勉強してから行きたいと思いました。ありがとうございました。
