ILAS Exchange Workshop
Thank you very much for your large interests and numerous applications!
The lucky participants will be announced soon.
All applicants will anyway receive an email about the result of the lottery.
We are planning another workshop in Feb./March 2019 and wish you, if you failed to join this workshop, a good luck for the next time!
ILAS Exchange Workshop: Buddhism in Japanese Culture
In what ways has Buddhism influenced Japanese history and culture?
Apart from exploring this question through group investigation and discussion, this seminar will be combined with a Zazen (seated meditation) experience at Enryakuji, the most renowned Tendai monastery in Japan, and an opportunity to make and eat your own Soba (buckwheat noodles). Moreover, as the seminar venue is located immediately next to the shore of Lake Biwa, and Enryakuji is situated within the lush autumn forest of Mount Hiei, this exchange will provide ample occasion to refresh yourselves from your everyday studies.
Working Language: English
Special Program including the following free of charge:
・One hour Zazen experience at the Enryakuji, Kojirin Shakado
・Seminar workshop on “Buddhism in Japanese Culture”
・Overnight stay in a four- to eight-bedded room at Acty Plaza Biwa
・Soba making and tasting course

・Dinner and Breakfast at the Acty Plaza Biwa JPY 2,376.-

Total JPY 2,976.-
*This amount will be collected at the Pre-Meeting on Oct. 29. at lunch time.
Please prepare the exact amount, as change cannot be given.
Since there is no convenience store close to the venue, please also bring the following by yourselves:
・Lunch for the first and second day
(The self-made Soba might not be sufficient as a lunch for some people)
・Drinks/snacks for both days
