Introduction:
Have you ever dreamed of living in the monastery? We are now making your dream come true. Shousheng Monastery is located in Zhejiang province. We will create a monastery environment during our time together, and we offer you this opportunity to explore the Dhamma in a setting that differs somewhat from a typical meditation retreat. We will all live the monastery life, following the Eight Precepts, taking only what is offered, and attempting to reflect on our every activity as part of our practice. This will include noble silence, morning and evening chanting, sitting and walking meditation, and daily Dhamma talks and teachings.
We will eat a light breakfast and, in keeping with this monastic tradition, the daily meal (vegetarian) is eaten before noon and in late afternoon. Incense and candles are used at the morning and evening chanting periods.
The monastery is settled in the peaceful surrounding, amidst the mountains. A great getaway and chance to soak up the rays and enjoy the fresh country air. |
