Zen Meditation and Calligraphy Workshop
Shinzan Miyamae (宮前 心山, born 2 nd July 1935) is a Rinzai
Zen Buddhist Rōshi (‘master’ or ‘teacher’). He restored
Gyōkuryuji, the hermitage of Edo Period Zen Master Bankei
Yotaku Zenji in central Japan and has taught there since 1990.
In this workshop you will learn or refresh several meditation
techniques followed by expression of Self using paint and brush
under direction of Shinzan Rōshi. His calligraphy works have
been widely collected both in Japan and internationally.
Zen Temple Cuisine Demonstration
Mari Fujii learnt the secrets of temple cuisine from her
husband Sotetsu Fujii, who was a Buddhist monk for over
thirty years. She has published a number of cookbooks,
including one in English (The Enlightened Kitchen), and
has made regular appearances on television.
Mari Fujii will give a short lecture on temple cuisine
followed by cooking demonstration and degustation. She
will be using local ingredients. There will be some
audience participation – bring along your cook’s knife.
These workshops are for everyone, no previous experience is required. It is a great chance to meet two true masters of Zen Calligraphy and Zen Cuisine. The Calligraphy workshop and Cuisine demonstrations will be run concurrently, but it is possible to do both within the day.
Cost: £25 each event (concessions £15); Both events: £45 (concessions £25).
