do you know if there are any options for tourists to volunteer for about 1 week in a Japanese zen garden, assisting in all the everyday work in the garden? many thanks

Upkeep of Zen gardens is not volunteer work. It isn't any kind of work. It is a religious practice of the Zen Buddhist sect. The garden is part of the temple and maintained for spiritual training of the priests. They do not need volunteers.

thank you very much for your quick response. I heard from afriend who lives there that there are places which allows forigners to stay for meditation + working in the gardens, but maybe he was wrong. thanks anyway.

Hi Rachel, I read your question about zen garden and wanted to know if you found a place. I'm also interested in the same idea. Thank you.
