The
Temple Stay in Myogaksa Temple
Welcome to Temple Stay Program ¡°Laying Down My Mind¡±
[About Temple Stay]
A Temple Stay must be a new experience for foreign tourists
which can live in Buddhist temple and learn about Korean
Buddhist culture by direct. Almost all temples are located
deep in the mountain, so all visitors are available
enjoying the quiet and calm atmosphere. By experiencing
the spiritual training such as meditation and Buddhist
rites, all visitors can achieve the peace of mind which
is needed in the modern society. The temple stay makes
you to recharge your body and soul and also makes you
to eases stress. All tourists also can learn the traditional
Korean Buddhist culture.
[The Temple Stay in Myogaksa]
Myogaksa on Mt. Naksan Temple stay program started from
2002 World Cup game. Unlike other temples, Myogaksa
is located in the center of downtown Seoul, you can
save more time than going to the deep in the mountain.
They provide opportunities to experience various aspects
of the 1700 years old Korean Buddhist culture and to
share the Korean history through interesting stories
told by monks.
108
Yeomju (Prayer Beads) Making
Participants will lay down all
their agonies by experiencing a precious opportunity
to make a rosary, during which they will thread 108
beads one by one followed by one prostration for each
threading. All the participants, once understanding
the daily 108 agonies and delusions, eventually reach
the complete answer to the question, ¡°Why do we prostrate?¡±
and then experience the meeting with their true self
through the time ¡°to pour out their greed, anger and
delusion.¡±
Gongyang
(Temple¡¯s Mealing)
When we unfold empty bowls,
we are reminded of our first birth with empty hands;
when we fill the bowls with food keeping gratitude
and no greed in mind, we think living of our life.
Meditation
¡°Observing my mind correctly¡±
is often the most impressive moment for participants
to meet with Buddhism. It is a time for them to practice
how to draw attention to their inside but not their
outside.
Dado
(Tea Ceremony) & Conversation with a Monk
It is a time for participants
to be able to feel the gratitude and preciousness
of having tea and a little fruit after finishing the
group work and breakfast. Contrary to the popular
thought that the tea ceremony has difficult and complex
decorum, it helps to enable participants to experience
the non-duality of tea and Seon (Zen), namely one
of the supreme stages of Buddhist practice.
