"bTibet08" The first session

PUBLIC_FLAG_#{@journal.pf_int} RSS feed of Sand's latest journal entries Oct 18th 2008 22:37
"bTibet08", which is the event to know Tibetan Buddhist culture, is held in Gokoku temple in three-time series.

The first session was held today and I went to attend it. Today's theme was "Touching Tibet and its Buddhist culture".

The first was the introduction lecture "About the progress of Tibetan Buddhism and its calvary" by a Japanese person, who is probably a leading Tibet-related expert in Japan (I don't know well though).

The second is the sermon by a Tibetan monk. Actually I left in the middle of this sermon because I had to go to a bicycle shop to pick my bicycle up by 6pm.

Today's session was... a bit different form my expectation. What I try to know is basic teachings of Tibetan Buddhism. I don't intend to be a believer so I don't need deep and difficult parts. OK, I look forward to the next session which will be held the next month.

Wow, that sounds like a great experience learning about the Tibetan culture. Gokoku temple looks very nice. Where abouts in Japan is it?

It was a pity you had to leave halfway. I hope you didn't miss too much.

Tim,

Thank you for correcting.
I've been interested in the Tibetan culture.
Gokoku temple is in Otsuka ward, Tokyo. You can see some nice temples and shrines in Tokyo even if you don't go to Kyoto :-)
