DIGITAL NOMAD - SWITZERLAND

As a digital nomad you can meditate and work at the zen temple. 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. 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 templestay program connected to IT activities. The morning and evening meditation is the same as during all templestay, but the daily modules are especially work on software projects.

The daily schedule is simple and formal. Everyone concentrates her consciousness on the given task while working. To work is to cleanse the mind. Work is an opportunity to meditate and become awakened to the real self. A small event in daily life can become an important moment of awareness for one who is in great darkness. Only through your determined and thorough examination of body and mind, worth and harmony can be formed. Please note that all residents of Lambda Zen Temple live a simple and ascetic life. Life in the temple is physically and mentally challenging. Everyone with sincere intention is welcome to come and to leave.

Before applying for templestay, completing at least one monthly retreat is mandatory.

If you have already completed a retreat, you can inquire with the head monk whether there is a templestay spot available and whether templestay will be an option for you.

Welcome at the Lambda Zen Temple in Glarus Switzerland. As a digital nomad you can meditate and work at the zen temple.

Life and death are the great matter. Be watchful of your time. All is impermanent and passes swiftly away. Time waits for no one.

Munen Alain M. Lafon

I have formally trained for 10 years under the guidance of venerable Zen Monks. This training included stringent monastic practice, a strict daily meditation routine, conducting monthly 7-day retreats, ceremonies, pilgrimages, study trips to Korea and Japan, as well as co-financing and co-building two Zen Temples lead by my teachers.

Now, this work is complete. As thanks to my teachers and to pay their kindness forward, I have opened Lambda Zen Temple to the public for daily practice. From the deepest heart I bow and thank all my teachers, free from east and west.
