| B.M | 15 | |
| (1) It is very nice and spacious. I found the garden very beautiful and the rooms very confortable. (2) Zazen was very intersting. I was very scared to get hit but it was very relaxing to sit and listen alot. It was also very peaceful and I learnt a lot about myself. | ||

| (1) I first thought the temple was very tradditional, but soon found that technology had crept it's way in. (2) I found Zazen very relaxing. Others who were hit said it did not hurt, but when I voluntarily got hit, I found that it did! very much! Other than this I found Zazen very culture enlightening. | ||

(1) 私は小学校がこの近くの永野小ということもあり、遠足などでよく遊びに来ていました。しかし座禅をこのお寺でしたのは初めてで、こちらの本堂に来れてよかったです。 
(2) 座禅自体は小さいとき、少林寺拳法を習っていたため経験したことはありましたが、きちんとした作法で行ったのは初めてでした。

(1) 周りが近代的な建物がある中で、ここだけが静かですごく良い場所だと思いました。 
(2) 今回が初めての座禅ですが、良い体験ができました。こんなに近い場所に座禅するところがあるなんて知りませんでした。

(1) とても落ち着いた感じで安らげました。お寺の方々も本当に親切でした。ありがとうございました。 
(2) 私は地元に住んでいますが、こんなに近くに安らぎの場所があったなんて本当に驚きました。やはりゴミゴミした都会生活を忘れさせる場所は必要ですね。 
初めて来ましたが、やはり日本文化は最高です!あのシーンとした雰囲気もとても心地よかったです。

(1) 純日本風の家はやっぱり気持ちが引き締まりまるようで大好きです。 
(2) 私は今回は2回目です。日本人ですが、座禅はこの国際交流に入会してからです。その時よりもむしろ座禅の後のほうが気持ちが良いようです。
