For those who want to share the moments with Mr. Uezu and others while doing meditation at your place, we have confirmed that he usually sits for meditation in the following hours (in Japan Standard Time).

From 6am to 7am in the morning
From 9pm to indefinite time in the evening

Mr. Uezu emphasizes that you don’t have to stick to these time periods, so find the best time for you as appropriate to do meditation. Also, please note that he may not be able to make it in these hours sometimes.

He then gave us the following message: Let’s stay together and get over these difficult days as one!

After discussion with Mr. Uezu, we have decided to postpone the Indian seminar to September 2020 as follows.

September 15 (Tue)		Arriving Delhi
September 16 (Wed)		Traveling from Delhi to Rishikesh
September 17-19 (Thu-Sat)		Seminar
September 20-21 (Sun-Mon)		Sightseeing
September 22 (Tue)		Traveling from Rishikesh to Delhi; leaving Delhi

We will still pay close attention to the development of the situation and make necessary adjustments when necessary.

To the registered:

3. Those who live in countries other than Japan, China, Hong Kong and Taiwan (no recommended flights) are not subject to the above article#2, but please also try to choose a flight with an arrival time close to and before the recommended flight.
