Experience content | Here at Ekoji Temple you can cleanse your body and mind by taking part in the practice of sutra copying. Sutra copying began as a means to spread sacred Buddhist texts, but nowadays it serves as a means to achieve mental equilibrium, and helps to prevent dementia, and is enjoyed by people of all ages. Sutra copying at Ekoji is geared towards beginners, who can simply trace the lightly printed characters printed on the copybook. It may take longer than you expect to finish copying out a single page, but as you progress from character to character, your ability to concentrate increases and your mind attains a sense of unity as you relax into the task. The last passage of the sutra takes the form of a Buddhist prayer. May your wishes come true. You can take home your finished sutra. |
Note | Nichiren school of Buddhism: Enmeisan, Hotoin, Ekoji Temples The sutras are taken from one of several Nichren Buddhist texts. For more details please make an inquiry. |
