Meditation Retreat 5 days in Koyasan
“Meditating with Kukai in Koyasan”
Message from Barry Kerzin
Kukai was one of the greatest Japanese monks. He was a highly realized Buddhist master and a Bodhisattva serving the people of Japan and the world. Many people believe for centuries that he is still there in Koyasan. We are inviting him to attend our meditation retreat to give us inspiration and blessings. As a Mahayana practitioner, Kukai follows in the Nalanda tradition of Nagarjuna. Tibetan Buddhism also follows the Nalanda tradition of Nagarjuna. We are going back closer to the source. Solitude and silence will allow us to go deeper exploring our own mind and heart. Meditation will still the mind bringing new insights, awakening unconditional love, and joy. You are invited to be part of our family for a special meditation retreat. – Barry Kerzin
Koyasan is one of the most sacred places in Japan, and the temple inn we will stay at is good and quiet. So I feel we should use put up with the holiday travel hassles to Koyasan and have a special time there. Everyone joining will make the experience richer for all. – Barry Kerzin
