Tokyo: Zen Meditation with a Monk and Matcha Tea Ceremony
Tokyo, Kanto, Japan
$60.00
This is an experience gift voucher. The recipient will book the experience after
they redeem the gift voucher.
Overview
Unlike typical sightseeing, this experience offers a rare chance to learn directly from a Buddhist monk about the deeper meaning of Zen and Japanese religious culture.
You’ll begin with a Zazen (seated meditation) session, guided step-by-step by the Japanese monk. Discover the power of posture, breath, and stillness to calm your mind and center yourself.
After meditation, enjoy freshly prepared matcha tea and traditional Japanese sweets in a peaceful setting. This moment of hospitality is not only delicious but also deeply cultural.
The highlight? A one-on-one conversation with the monk. Ask questions, reflect on your experience, and gain unique insights into Zen philosophy and how it can be applied in everyday life.
This is more than just meditation—it’s a cultural exchange and a journey into the spiritual heart of Japan.
