"Do not forget to live
your life in joy." Dōgen Zenji |
The individual retreats are the days in which you can enjoy alone the leisure of Zen in aimless and timeless lingering in the Zenklausen. The task of contemplation is to experience the continued, complete and conscious awareness and mindfulness of the present moment without one's own judgmental (samadhi). In Zen this should not only be maintained during meditation, but if possible at every moment of one's own life.
StayDuring your stay you take your breakfast, dinner and lunch alone in your hermitage, because you have chosen to be alone.
Food supplies can be found in the kitchen of each hermitage. - Lunch will be handed over at 13:00. Please note that cooking is not done in the chalets. If you have any food allergies, please let us know when you register. But you are also welcome to ask in the main building how your food is prepared and what food we use. Meditation TimePlease note that during the individual retreat guests will continue to meet for morning, midday and evening meditation in Zendo or for the walking meditation in the field.
