A Journey of Spiritual Unity in an Unusual Space

The main hall of the temple is an extraordinary space where silence prevails. The priest will explain about the sutra chanting before you begin, so you will have a deeper and more meaningful time if you understand the content of the sutra chanting before you begin. It is important to work at your own pace and calm your mind. Try not to think about how to write well or quickly, but just concentrate on writing,” says the chief priest. Once you experience it, you may be surprised at how refreshed you will feel after the sutra.
