Do you want to find meaning in your life?
Are you looking for peace of mind?
Do you want to see yourself clearly?
Are you wondering how to live in this complicated world?
You’re welcome to come to the monastery and discover the practice of Zen.
Zazen meditation will be at the heart of your discovery retreat.
Throughout your stay, you will share the daily life of monks, nuns and other experienced practitioners.
Practising together, meeting, exchanging, harmonising… helping each other is the way of life of the Buddha’s disciples.
In the time of Shakyamuni Buddha, his disciples would gather together at monsoon time to practise alongside him and remain in tranquillity.
We continue this tradition.
