I attended a Zen Meditation Session at Engaku-ji Temple in Kamakura.
It is offered every Saturday afternoon and open to public for free of charge.
One hour session includes an entry guide, a trial meditation, a sermon by a monk, and an actual meditation.
Zen is one of the sects of Buddhism.
It teaches that enlightenment can be achieved through strict mental and physical practices
such as "zazen" or zen meditation.
Zazen is a type of religious meditation performed while seated on a cushion with crossed legs and folded hands.
Zen influenced various Japanese traditions like the tea ceremony and ink wash painting called "sumie".
