💗💚~~Hello, this is Tea Ceremony and Calligraphy Shop Waplus Nara~~💚💗

Welcome to Tea Ceremony and Calligraphy Shop Waplus Nara.
Today, we would like to introduce ”the benefits of copying sutras”.

Shakyo refers to both the act of copying Buddhist scriptures and the copied scriptures themselves.
In ancient times, copying sutras was practiced as a means of religious prayer and offering, or to cultivate virtue by copying the contents of sutras by hand.
However, in modern times it is often done for mental stability.

Shakyo has a relaxing effect.
Copying sutras is done with a small brush, and is a very delicate process that takes an hour to complete.
By doing so, you can enter a state of mindlessness and separate yourself from everyday stress and a mind that tends to be distracted. In other words, copying sutras has the same effect as practicing zazen.

We also recommend experiencing traditional Japanese calligraphy while wearing a kimono👘
