[Copying Sutra / Buddhist Image Experience]
In the sutra copying class, you will trace the Heart Sutra. This is a class that even small children who cannot read can safely participate in.
In Shabutsu, you carefully trace the image of the Buddha onto paper. The important thing is not how well you write or how fast you write, but to put your heart into each stroke.

This program is designed so that even those experiencing Buddhism for the first time can participate with peace of mind. Rather than viewing it as a religious act, please experience it as a time to carefully reflect on yourself.
