Detail:

The tranquil monastery life is so different from the hustle and bustle of a modern city. Maybe that is good for our restless hearts. Spending two days in a beautiful ancient temple, experiencing the life of a common monk has become a dream for modern professionals. It is also a kind of very effective therapy to get totally relaxed and refreshed. Beside knocking bells; chanting; knocking wooden fish and attending morning and evening classes under strict commandment, most of the monks have more activities relevant to Zen such as Zen meditation; pilgrimage hiking; Buddhism salon and tea ceremony named as demolishing the ego, etc. Every traveler will feel the authentic life of the temple in this trip.

 

Beside the common Zen activities, we also prepared some interactive games for the travelers such as releasing fishes back to nature.  We may also join the monks in their daily husbandry work and pilgrimage hikes…
