Set in the sacred grounds of Kōfuku-ji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Nara, this spiritual premium journey offers an authentic mindfulness (meditation) experience guided by a Buddhist monk. Inside the privately reserved Tōkondō Hall, a National Treasure, participants sit in meditation before sacred statues, including the principal image of Yakushi Nyorai (Medicine Buddha), Monju Bosatsu (Manjushri), and Vimalakīrti. At the climax of the journey, you will engage in deep mindfulness while facing the world-renowned statue of Asura, considered one of the greatest masterpieces of Japanese Buddhist sculpture. The journey is led by Alex Kerr, a renowned expert in Japanese traditional culture and Eastern philosophy, who will serve as your special guide.
