In other words, copying sutras has the same effect as practicing zazen.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1022\" data-end=\"1199\">We also recommend experiencing traditional Japanese calligraphy while wearing a kimono\ud83d\udc58<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1022\" data-end=\"1199\">If you are interested in calligraphy, please visit our shop &#8220;Waplus Nara&#8221;.
