A large delegation of the most senior Dharma Teachers in the Plum Village Tradition, including many abbots and abbesses from our centres around the world, led events in Japan, from April 28 – May 13, as part of the 2015 Plum Village Asia Tour.
It was the sangha’s first major teaching tour in Japan since Thay’s 2011 trip had to be unexpectedly cancelled as a result of the Tsunami.
Highlights of the two-week Japan Tour included a 5-day retreat for 500 people at the foot of Mt. Fuji, a flashmob sitting meditation in Tokyo, and special days of mindfulness for businesspeople, young people, healthcare professionals, and monastics from other Buddhist traditions.
