Escape to a Blossoming Oasis: A Meditation Retreat Amidst Former Flower Fields
The serene grounds of this Buddhist meditation center whisper tales of a vibrant past. Once a flower farm, cultivating fragrant blooms, echoes of that era linger – a few hardy flowers still grace the landscape, a testament to the land’s enduring beauty.
Within this tranquil haven, you’ll discover a network of serene ponds. These aren’t mere water features; they were once vital lifelines for the farm, supplying the lifeblood for the flourishing blooms. Today, they serve as tranquil reservoirs, attracting a symphony of wildlife. Watch dragonflies flit across the water, listen to the gentle croaking of frogs, and perhaps even spot a shy waterbird seeking respite in the reeds.
But the tranquility doesn’t end there. Immediately bordering the center flows a man-made river, an irrigation canal, cascading gently over a small waterfall. A picturesque pathway winds along its banks, inviting you to embark on a meditative stroll. Keep your eyes peeled – the vibrant tapestry of life along the canal is a constant source of wonder.
Beyond the Walls: Embracing Nature’s Temple
While your retreat room offers a sanctuary for focused practice, we encourage you to explore the boundless meditation hall that is the surrounding nature.
- Walking Meditation: Trace the meandering paths, allowing your mind to settle with each deliberate step.
- Standing Meditation: Find a spot overlooking the mountains or a tranquil pond. Let the expansive vistas and the gentle sounds of nature wash over you.
- Sound Meditation: Settle beneath the shade of a tree and listen deeply. The buzzing of insects, the rustling of leaves, the distant murmur of the river – each sound becomes a mantra, guiding you deeper into stillness.
