福王山 正覚寺 日帰り修行体験｜坐禅・精進料理・法話・作務など お写経体験付きプランあり！＜1名様より受付／飯能市＞

Before it gets cold. 寒くなる前に

Reviewed by: くにさん

I experienced zazen (seated meditation), shakyo (sutra copying), and shojin ryori (Buddhist vegetarian cuisine). Although I wasn't used to sitting in seiza (formal sitting posture) and zazen, it felt different from yoga, and just meditating in the temple away from the hustle and bustle of the city helped me switch my mindset. It would be better if there were more buses available for access, but the extraordinary experience I had was very good.

座禅、写経、精進料理を体験してきました。
正座や座禅など慣れていない態勢でしたがヨガとも違い、都会の喧騒をはなれたお寺で座禅しているだけで　気持ちの切り替えができる感じでした。
もう少しアクセスのバスが多く出ていると良いのですが、体験できた非日常体験はとても良かったです。

I was able to clear my mind and refresh myself by doing zazen without thinking about anything. After listening to the temple's talk, I felt like my worries started to fade away. The shojin ryori (Buddhist vegetarian cuisine) was very delicious!

座禅で何も考えずに頭の中を空っぽにすることができ、リフレッシュになりました。その後お寺さんのお話を聞いて考えていたら悩みがなくなってきた気がしました
精進料理がとても美味しかったです！

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。
