SHINMEIZAN DIARY

• The main activities of Shinmeizan during the months of July and August this year have been the annual study sessions for students from the Kitakyushu University of Industrial Medicine. Such short intensive courses have been held at Shinmeizan every year since 2001. Also this year, 19 young people, 6 girls and 13 boys, have taken part in the two four days’ courses held respectively on July 25-28 and August 7-10. These courses, held on request of the Professor of Medical Ethics of the same university, deal with the meaning of human life from an (inter-)religious perspective.
