Excerpt: Ultimately, sacred space is not a place at all but simply an effort throught the shaping of outward space to inspire an inner space where the divine can be encountered. Each religion has their own concept of what that experience of the divine is like but all religions seek that inner sacred space.

Yoshida, S. A bridge from a soundless world. When I was four, my voice training started at a school for deaf-mute children. It took me almost two years to master pronunciation of the 50 sounds in the Japanese alphabet. Children in my neighborhood bullied me because of my physical disability, and I knew my mother was really upset by this. I could barely pronounce "Nam-myoho-renge-kyo," the key phrase of our Buddhist practice, by the time I was five.
