Self-Retreat 个人禅修

Nestled in serene hills overlooking lush greenery, Vihara BoonRaksa Forest Monastery is intended as a spiritual sanctuary for the monastics, as well as the laity. 
Practitioners who sincerely wishes to develop mental cultivation are welcomed to stay at the monastery for self-retreat, and practice and learn alongside the Sangha.
Throughout the duration of self-retreat, practitioners are expected to undertake the Eight Precepts, observe Noble Silence, and diligently participate in the Vihara’s Daily Routine.
As the name implies, a self-retreat emphasizes on individual practice and is more suited to those who have some basic knowledge of meditation and strong sense of discipline. 
There will be opportunities to seek meditation guidance and ask questions regarding your practice from the resident monks, depending on their availability and during scheduled Dhamma Talk/Q & A sessions.  Teachings are mostly conducted in the Hokkien dialect, and in English.

If you are interested to come for self-retreat, kindly read our Rules & Regulations for an understanding of what to expect, and please apply in advance as the monastery is unable to cater to lay guests who arrived unannounced for overnight stays.
