Zen Buddhist Priest, Issho Fujita chats to us about how meditation & being present help to still the mind, bringing about inner peace and serenity. Join us as Renee chats with Zen Buddhist Priest Issho Fujita in Kamakura Japan, about an hour or so south of Tokyo along the Japanese coast. The conference Zen 2.0 was held here, after which we took a stroll through the gardens, listened to the birds, and felt the power of nature all around us. In this short interview, we hear about his journey to enlightenment, the power of meditation, and stillness to an awakened state. Learn why it mattered to him early on and why it continues to matter as he breathes, walks, and lives this path. The simplicity of his life also adds to his inner joy and serenity.
