From now on,”the Sitting of the Buddha” will flourish under its new name in days to come. Through the Sitting of the Buddha, the essence of the Patriarchs is accurately transmitted and the word “Shikantaza” (“Just sitting”) of Master Nyojo, is here replaced by the “selfless posture”.

Sutras and texts are read and chanted in the mother tongues of each country and no longer in Japanese or Sanskrit.

“The Sitting of the Buddha” erases body and mind.
