Naikan: Gratitude, Grace and the Japanese Art of Self-Reflection

Naikan is a structured method of self-reflection that helps us to understand ourselves, our
relationships and the fundamental nature of human existence. Developed by Ishin Yoshimoto, a
devout Buddhist of the Jodo Shinshu sect in Japan, Naikan is a clinical method of psychology,
helpful for self discovery, relationships and issues such as addiction and rehabilitation

Naikan encourages:

• A shift from a complaint-based life to one of authentic gratitude and appreciation;
• A recognition of the myriad ways in which we have been loved and supported by others;
• A self-awareness of our own karma, including our “bonno” (blind passions) which often
manifest as self-centered actions in our encounters with others.

Naikan prompts a focus on gratitude and appreciation, a recognition of the supports we each experience on a daily basis, and awareness of the impact we have on the world. Gregg Krech is a leading expert on Japanese Psychology, having practiced and shared Naikan for over 30 years. Please join us for this timely event, sponsored by the Colorado Dharma Group and the Longmont Buddhist Temple.

 

Presenter Gregg Krech is one of the leading authorities on Japanese Psychology in North  America. His work has been featured on NPR and in THE SUN Magazine and Tricycle. He is  the author of several books, and with his wife Linda is founder of The ToDo Institute, a nonprofit center in Vermont that uses Japanese Psychology as an alternative to traditional Western approaches to psychology.
