The autumn retreat - 8 days - is an opportunity to discover or deepen the practice of Zen meditation and to experience monastic life in a Buddhist temple.

Sewing the Kesa is one of the traditional practices of Soto Zen Buddhism

This Zen retreat is specially designed for people who have never practiced zazen (Zen meditation) or for practitioners who have never done sesshin. The whole programme will be adapted and accessible to beginners.

The history of Zen through the centuries and countries has always shown remarkable creativity.

For the 20th anniversary of the temple we organised an Open Day last june. This was a public event to celebrate the anniversary with the inhabitants of the region. At the end of november the festivities continue but this time for the sangha!

In this beautiful full-colour brochure, discover all the information for 2020: retreats, events, prices, calendar as well as the updated list of centres linked to the monastery in Europe.
