Sogenji Zazen Practice

On Sunday 7th April I attended Zazen practice at Sogenji in Okayama City.
The practice consisted of 25 minutes of sitting meditation followed by five minutes of chi gong like training and then another 25 minutes of sitting meditation. At Sogenji the teachers will whack you with a Japanese wooden sword to awaken your spirit if you choose this experience.
I was too busy with my meditation to notice the monks walking around with the sword, but I heard some people getting a good whack.
