Monthly Zen Meditation Retreat day 2/3: Walking Meditation in the mountains

On the second day of the monthly 3-day Zen Meditation Retreat we embarked on a full-day walking meditation through the snow-covered mountains surrounding Lambda Zen Temple. Leaving the temple before sunrise, we ascended towards Lake Oberblegi where we cooked lunch over a small fire and enjoyed the stunning view of the Glarus valley.

Schedule:

  • 04:00 Sitting Meditation (Zazen)
  • 05:45 Breakfast
  • 06:30 Walking Meditation – full-day hike (in any weather)
  • ~18:00 Dinner
  • 1h Break
  • ~19:15 Sitting Meditation (Zazen)
  • 22:00 Lights Out

Each participant gave their best, putting one mindful step after another while examining their true self throughout the steep climbs and descents of the day.
