Dear [Name],

I could experience “sitting in Zen meditation” for 2 hours with Buddhist monk on Saturday. He explained about Zen, which is how to practice Zen, why we have to practice Zen and so on. It was quiet interesting but difficult. What we learned was a beginner course of beginners. Though, we couldn’t do well. When we do Zen meditation, we almost close our eyes and breathe in deeply. The thing is if we do, we feel sleepy soon. Some dozed off during meditation so the Buddhist monk yielded “don’t move, and don’t sleep! You came here to learn Zen by yourselves. You should do in earnest.” We were startled. It did it. After then we did hard. After practicing, he taught us a story of Zen. I was interested in respiration. Finally I was hit by him as a kind of demonstration of punishment.

Wow! You had an interesting class. I think it would be fun to learn zest. Though I will be sleepy doing that. kkk. I missed you in the class today. You are on hold for three days. I wonder why? I hope you will write about it. See you soon. Verna I could experience “sitting in Zen meditation” for 2 hours with Buddhist monk on Saturday. >>I  experienced sitting in Zen meditation
