This sesshin is open to everyone, both beginners and experienced practitioners. It offers each person the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in Sôtô Zen, experiencing an ancestral practice transmitted from master to disciple over the centuries, and which permeates every aspect of daily life.

Since the time of the Buddha, certain periods of the year have traditionally been devoted to long-term spiritual retreats, in connection with the rainy season in India.

Four “Zen Campus Ryumonji” sessions are planned between June and September, each lasting two weeks. They all share the same theme: “Experiencing and deepening the practice and teaching of Zen.”

This sesshin is open to all, beginners and advanced alike, and is an opportunity to dive into the heart of Sôtô zen, experiencing a practice passed down through the centuries permeating all aspects of daily life.

Our modern lives often lack calm and serenity. The “Discover Zen Week” invites you to a full immersion into the daily life of a Buddhist monastery, to reconnect deeply with the present moment.

That weekend, the doors of the Dragon Temple will be wide open to the children of the Sangha. They will have the opportunity to bring all their curiosity and their happiness to be together in nature. The children will participate in activities specially designed for them. Younger children can also be welcomed, under the care of their parents.
