self-cultivation. Practice in silence is essential to maintain
personal focus.

and Integrated Buddhist Studies (IBS) Program, Jikishoan’s
Buddhist education program. He has received dharma
transmission from Ikko Narasaki Roshi and taught for over
30 years in USA, Japan and India and since 1998 in
Australia.
The activities include an orientation program for
newcomers. The daily schedule includes Zazen and Kinhin
meditation, Samu practice, traditional meal practice and

“Zen practice has a strong emphasis on the need to meet,
face to face. You cannot transmit important matters with
books or only through the knowledge of ideas. The meeting
is essential. Through the practice comes true
understanding.”
