DIGITAL NOMAD

200 ok!

Welcome to the templestay program for digital nomads. The Lambda Zen Temple is a place for contemplating on the true self through a very simple hermitage-like lifestyle. As a digital nomad you can meditate and work at the zen temple. Only through your determined and thorough examination of body and mind, worth and harmony can be formed.

It is the first Zen temple for developers and Zen practitioners who are interested in a longterm templestay program connected to IT activities. The morning and evening meditation is the same as in all the Zen Temples, but the daily modules are especially work on software projects. Our purpose is to awaken each and everyone's true nature and to share compassion with the community.

IT Projects

The projects will be created by professional Software Developers (tutors of the Insopor Zen Academy) to serve a humanistic ideal. Things you would never do, because you have no time or money.

Etiquette

The Zen temple etiquette gives a framework to consciously carry out and process your own words and actions. They intend to make human coexistence smooth and pleasant. Because the life at the zen temple is completely supported by donations (food, all items and money), we do not waste anything.
