Feeling as though I am in Japan

Master Kosen – Published on December 14 – rituals-and-ceremonies

Question

Kan ji zai bo satsu. Gyo jin han… Why chant this? What does it mean? Why do I feel as though I am in Japan at the dojo? I am not Japanese. I speak Japanese better than Breton! Zazen is very good.

Thank you.

Master Kosen’s answer

The Hannya Shingyo is not Japanese; it is a language belonging only to the world of Zen.
