🏵It must be said that it is as beautiful as a painting 🍃 If you want to 'hide away' from the world, this is true love! The air is cool, the scenery is quiet yet full of life. Taking a few commemorative photos, I felt myself become much gentler.🥰
Those of you who have an affinity with Buddhism can learn more about Truc Lam Zen Monastery, including Truc Lam Da Lat Zen Monastery on the dreamily beautiful Phung Hoang mountain peak. I had 4 days of experiencing the Practice Course, which was truly a wonderful experience for me personally, not on a service rating scale like modern people still consider standard. But in personal experience, the lessons learned, the discipline in hours, in eating, and daily living. Being at the Zen monastery is not for playing around or sightseeing; when participating in the Practice Course, you must study like studying under 1 school roof. So that after studying, I personally realized that Buddhism is not about praying and worshipping, but about learning, about slowing down to clearly see oneself. Wishing those who have an affinity with the Zen Monastery truly beautiful learning experiences!
