Read More再始動：こたつの会 誰かが「息抜く力は、生き抜く力」と言っていました。 ちょっと深呼吸、そして“心呼吸”をしませんか？ 日々、いろいろなことがある中で、仏様のお話を聞きながら、体と心の呼吸を整えるひとときを。 そのあとは、クーラーの効いた部屋で、お茶を飲みながらゆったりと過ごしましょう。 コロナ前に行って以来、大変久しぶりの開催です。 申し込み不要・無料で、どなた様も大歓迎です。 仏様のお話をしますが、仏教徒である必要も、メンバーであることも条件ではありません。 だって、やさしさは誰にとっても大切なものですからね。 仏様のお話を、短く、やさしく、心にすっと入ってくるように。 そんな安らいだ、穏やかな時間を目指しています。 ちょうど、日本の寒い冬にこたつに入って、テレビを見たり、みかんを食べたりした、あのほっこりとした時間。 それが「こたつの会」です。 どうぞ、お気軽にお越しください。何か質問がありましたら、日本語でこちらまでお問合せください。メール：mpunahongwanji@twc.com電話：808-966-9981 Translation in English Someone once said, “The power to exhale is the power to endure.” So—how about taking a deep breath, and a gentle breath of the heart?
