Published on 21 Jul 2013

Yakushi-ji Temple in Nara started a project in Mar. 2012, in an effort to help ease the sufferings of the survivors in Tohoku in a Buddhist way. Monks visit temporary housing complexes in devastated areas to hold “Shakyo” (hand-copying of a Buddhist sutra) sessions.

There, they face the survivors’ deep-rooted sufferings. They’re struck with a sense of helplessness, doubting what they, who are not victims of the calamity, can do to help. This is a story of a year with the monks struggling to find an answer in Tohoku, and the people there still with innermost sufferings who engaged in Shakyo.

  1. Having read this I thought it was extremely informative.
    I appreciate you taking the time and effort to put this short article together.
    I once again find myself personally spending a significant amount of time both reading and
    leaving comments. But so what, it was still worth it!
