This practice has been amazing for my body and mind, and I will certainly miss it if/when I return to the UK........
It's important to be grateful for what we have while we still have it and appreciate every moment!
This is something I have learned directly through the experience of living in Japan.
Gimmicky 'Zen' courses and tourist packed meditation classes may be fun - but the real 'zen' is found in personal experience, and cannot be taught or 'given' from one person to another. These classes have their place, and can be necessary at the beginning of ones journey. But to think they are the 'IT' you are looking for - is to be missing the point entirely or to be 'staring at the finger instead of the moon' to use a Buddhist quote.
'PERSONAL experience, therefore, is EVERYTHING in Zen. No ideas are intelligible to those who have no backing of experience' - D.T Suzuki (Professor of buddhism, author and reknowned teacher)
After you have made use of the teacher, or the path or the method - it is up to you to put this in your own practice, and find this 'way' in all things.
