Pamiętajmy!
Odosobnienie to czas na pogłębianie kontaktu ze swoim wnętrzem oraz budowania harmonii z otoczeniem poprzez wspólną praktykę. Utrzymywanie ciszy / milczenia jest wielkim darem jaki możemy dać sobie oraz pozostałym uczestnikom odosobnienia.
Drugi tydzień Kyol Che jest częścią czterotygodniowego odosobnienia odbywającego się w świątyni Wu Bong Sa oraz trzymiesięcznego europejskiego programu letnich odosobnień.
Wejście I 20.07 o godzinie 18:00 do 27.07 godz. 13

ENGLISH VERSION
“Zen is a soap that helps remove layers of dirt from your mind. If you use it regularly and properly, soon your original purity will appear to you and to the world in which you live. Then your happiness and your desire for happiness for others will become an inseparable unity, and you will become an awakened, fulfilled human being – a buddha.”
