The monthly Zen meditation retreat at Lambda Zen Temple is a three-day program where we re-examine the true self through zazen, kinhin and samu. Day 2 traditionally takes us out into the Swiss Alps for a full-day hiking meditation (kinhin).
During this summer retreat we climbed the slopes below Vorderglärnisch and Schilt. Moving mindfully through the blooming alpine meadows we synchronised every step with the breath and the surrounding sounds — becoming one with the mountain path.
Everyone is welcome to join the retreat for the full three days, for individual days or simply for a tea. Newcomers, however, are required to participate for the complete schedule.
