Experience: Meditation

A unique way to experience Kunisaki is to pay a visit to the Kodo-ji temple, where you can meditate with guidance from the kind Buddhist owners of the temple - an experience which could indeed, by no stretch of the imagination, change your life.

Experiences are written on the heart, and in a world of busyness, suits and deadlines powered by caffeine, a knowledge which has been passed down for generations of the ability to detach yourself from the centre of your focus and broaden your perspective can be invaluable and more necessary than ever before.

Immerse yourself in this ancient practice which holds the belief that in order to find oneself, you must first become lost.

The couple were very welcoming to our group of foreign students, many of whom had little to no experience of meditation at all. This was well-handled and with some slight level adjustments (the first being literally meditating on one's good and bad points, the second counting breaths and finally the goal of completely emptying your mind) we were able to have a genuine meditation experience in a beautiful, old temple surrounded by the soft sounds of nature.
