Experience in Japan : Hand-copying of a sutra

Recently, hand-copying of a sutra has become increasingly popular in Japan.
Japanese people have fewer opportunities to write kanji due to conversion system
of computers and mobiles.
At the same time, such abundant information makes us difficult to look within ourselves.

In such a situation, if you are tired in your heart, you might try hand-copying of a sutra.
To concentrate solely on copying sutra each character in a quiet place like a temple,
which can make your state of mind free from delusion and calm.

In Tokyo and other places, “Temple Café” where you can experience easily copying a sutra
is popular among women.
It’s also nice that they serve green tea and delicious Japanese cake :) (H.S)
