Noriko Yamasaki is a member of our Zenways sangha. Growing up in Kyushu in Japan, she was taught mindfulness and mindful activity at school from age 6 right the way into high school. This level of integration of mindfulness into school learning is something we can only envy here in the West. In this interview, Daizan Roshi asks her about some of the things she learnt, and finds out they were even examined on them!
