About the event
Event Type: Official
Event Description
Shakyo is a traditional Japanese Buddhist practice of dedication and moving meditation through copying the sacred Buddhist texts using the Japanese brush. This serene practice helps one quietly internalize the Buddhist teachings, calm down one's mind, and concentrate solely on a divine task of copying Buddhist text, stroke by stroke, promoting mindfulness, inner peace, and stabilization of one's mind and heart.
Lastly and most importantly, through this practice of dedication toward Buddhist teachings, one may cultivate Dharmic Merits - the very solution that cleanses away karma.
