Ekoji Temple is offering an introduction to the Japanese language, and the cultural roots of Japanese Buddhism. The course, taught by scholars in the field, Drs. Sandy and Terry Kita, is offered with the goal of increasing the temple’s involvement in the community and making the temple (located at Lakehaven Lane and Burke Lake Rd) welcoming for all.
The course consists of 10, two-hour lessons. The first hour focuses on Buddhist Art and Culture and the second focuses on the Japanese Language. The first class will be held on September 17, at 7 to 9 p.m., and will continue for the following nine Thursdays.
The course fee is $200 for non-members, or $ 100 for members of Ekoji. In addition, there is a small additional cost of $10 to cover the cost of preparing materials for handouts.
