Mount Koya (Koya-san)… It is located in Wakayama prefecture. The monk Kukai settled in 819, known as the headquarters of the Shingon sect of Japanese Buddhism. 53 temples out of 170 have the Shukubo. In old days the royal family and some nobles visited there to wish for their happiness and health, and stayed for a while. One forth of the population are the monks.

Zazen: The ascetic practice of concentrating mind and body. Straighten your back and put your right foot on your left thigh, placing the left foot on the right thigh. Breathe from the abdomen.
