- Thien Nien Temple - Welcome to the pagoda, where the guide will introduce the rules in the initial lesson. The first activity is of great importance as participants chant the solemn sutras, which encompass the teachings of Buddha. This is followed by learning about profound doctrines to incorporate into daily life. Subsequently, it’s time to practice qigong and mindful breathing for health benefits before proceeding to the meditation session. Enjoy peaceful moments while participating in walking meditation.
Next is the art of touching peace—learning about meditation techniques and focusing the mind for genuine happiness. The most awaited moment is when participants engage in conversations with monks to gain deeper insights into Buddhist doctrine, the noble life of those who have renounced worldly pleasures, and their lofty ideals.
Cultivate compassion through the activity of releasing animals and enjoying a meal with gratitude. Finally, exchange gifts and say farewell.

Finding stillness and friendship - As a beginner in meditation, this retreat was exactly what I needed. It gave me a deeper understanding of both the practice and the philosophy behind it.
What made the experience even more special the guide, Hieu. She was incredibly patient, gentle, and encouraging, which made it easy for me to ask questions and truly relax into the process. Her presence created a peaceful and safe space for learning and self-discovery.
We practiced several types of meditation—including sitting, chanting, walking, and Qi Gong—which allowed me to experience how different methods can bring focus and clarity in unique ways. The walking meditation helped me feel more grounded and connected, the sitting meditation deepened my sense of stillness, and the Qi Gong practice brought a calming energy to both body and mind.
One of the most unexpected and heartwarming parts of the retreat was making a new friend—Hieu herself. Beyond being a wonderful guide, she became someone I genuinely connected with, and I’m so grateful for that. We even shared a lovely dinner together at the end of the retreat, which made the whole experience feel even more personal and meaningful.
Overall, this retreat gave me not only the tools to start a meditation practice but also a meaningful introduction to Buddhist principles. I'm very thankful for the experience and for Hieu’s friendship and guidance. Highly recommended for anyone starting their meditation journey.

Great experience - I did the 4 hour pagoda tour with Hung and Hieu. It covered a lot of areas; meditation, teaching, theory, walking meditation, qi gong and breathing and much more. Hieu also did some practical card games to describe karma. I really enjoyed it and learnt a lot. We finished with lunch at a nearby vegetarian restaurant.
I would highly recommend this tour for an introduction to Buddhist concepts with some passionate hosts.

A Truly Enlightening Experience – Highly Recommended! - I had the pleasure of attending a half-day mindfulness and Buddhism lesson, and it was an incredible experience. The session was well-structured, blending theory with practical meditation exercises that were both calming and insightful. The instructor was knowledgeable, patient, and created a welcoming atmosphere where everyone, regardless of prior experience, could fully engage.
One of the highlights was learning simple yet powerful mindfulness techniques that I can incorporate into my daily life. The discussion on Buddhist philosophy was thought-provoking and delivered in a way that was easy to understand, even for beginners. The setting was serene, adding to the overall sense of peace and reflection.
Whether you’re new to mindfulness or looking to deepen your practice, I highly recommend this experience. It’s a perfect way to slow down, reset, and gain valuable insights into mindfulness and Buddhist teachings.

Great to learn about Buddhism - Hung, Jane and all the guides and monks were very friendly and sweet. We could sense their dedication and passion for sharing their learnings. It was also great to learn about the culture around the temple. Our favourite activity was the Q&A with the monk, who had taken time to reflect on our pre-shared questions. Whilst it was a really interesting cultural experience we would say it was a bit different to what we expected as it was more focused on the religious aspects of Buddhism instead of the more practical sides of mindfulness.
