Details

The monthly Zen meditation retreat at Lambda Zen Temple is a three day meditation retreat, where we reexamine the true self through a very simple hermitagelike life-style. The retreat starts monthly every third Friday at 10am (10:00) and ends Sunday at 3pm (15:00).

Everyone concentrates her consciousness on the given task while working. To work is to cleanse the mind. Work is an opportunity to meditate and become awakened to the real self. A small event in daily life can become an important moment of awareness for one who is in great darkness. Only through your determined and thorough examination of body and mind, worth and harmony can be formed.

Etiquette

We eat what will be served and are grateful. The Zen temple etiquette gives a framework to consciously carry out and process your own words and actions.

Meditation

Life and death are the great matter. Be watchful of your time. All is impermanent and passes swiftly away. Time waits for no one.
