Every Sunday morning, we feature a one-on-one Q&A with Jun, our resident curator, exploring the connection between Zen and architecture.
Cultural activities that enhance your Zen practice?
I have visited Zen and meditation centers in many places around the world: Hong Kong, Tokyo, Kyoto, Los Angeles, New York, Boston, Riverside, Zurich… each place has its own distinct culture, which broadens my perspective. In terms of cultural experiences, tea ceremonies, gardening, farming, and temple visits help calm my mind and sharpen my focus. As for Zen practice, sitting meditation remains the most direct method.
