Chanting the precepts in Japanese is a wonderful way to stay mindful and focused. Through being focused we get less distracted by all the distracted thoughts in our mind. This in turn will help us to be less angry and worried, which in turn will help us to be more grateful and kind.
But to really work on this it is sometimes good to do an intensive marathon chanting practice. Through these intense practices we lay a much better foundation for our own healing work and helping others.
Join me and many others from around the world on this marathon precepts chanting weekend.
We will chant the precepts for 45 min, then we have a 15 min break and do the next round. There will be a bigger break for lunch and dinner.
