Hello, this is SIED.
On July 9th(Tue.) and 16th(Tue.), we held the SIED event “Let's make a Japanese amulet!” at International Community Lounge on the Kyotanabe campus! Eleven students (seven international students and four local students) joined us.
In this event, students picked up a preferred pattern and color of cloth and string to sew an original OMAMORI.
For some, it was the first time sewing in a long while, so students helped each other with the sewing process.
Although tying the string was challenging, we persisted and successfully completed our OMAMORI!
After that, we threaded the tied string through the hand-made OMAMORI.
Everyone enjoyed chatting and creating beautiful OMAMORI together.

On July 7th, we held the SIED event "Mt. Kurama Hiking". A total of 16 participants joined us, including 13 international students and 3 local students.
During this event, we climbed Mt. Kurama, a famous power spot in Kyoto, visiting spots such as the Maou Waterfall, Yuki Shrine, Kurama Temple main hall, and Yoshitsune Hall on our way to the summit, and ultimately descending to Kifune-guchi.
Despite several days of rain leading up to the event, we were blessed with clear skies on the day itself! We divided the 16 participants into about 3 groups, guiding each group together and introducing various spots along the way.
Everyone was very energetic during the event, and we felt a deepening camaraderie among everyone, with a significant number of international students compared to local students. It was heartwarming to see participants communicating not only in Japanese but in various languages, sharing aspects of Japan and their own cultures throughout the hike.
After the event, we received many comments such as, "It was tiring but fun!" and "Thank you for today, I want to join again!"
We're truly delighted that this event became a memorable part of everyone's university life. Thank you so much to all who participated!

In this event, SIED staff gave a lecture on knowledge about zazen, including what it is and how to do it. After that we moved to Shorinji-temple together. While we were walking, participants got along each other.
The participants were then enlightened for two 15-minute sessions. The monk also used a keisaku (a Japanese Zen meditation stick) to help them get rid of any distractions. After the experience, participants felt refreshed in body and mind, and had numbness in their legs, but at the same time, they looked refreshed. It was a rare and precious experience.
