" Thich Nhat Hanh in his book 'Living Buddha, Living Christ' once quoted Thomas Merton's "A monastery or practice center is a place where insight is transformed into action". Thich further wrote "when someone from the city arrives in monastery compound, just seeing the trees and gardens and hearing the sound of the bell can calm him down".
That is exactly what I felt about this place. I happened to stay in a lower ground house and I had to walk upstairs. It was quite a tiring walk, yet I tried to do it mindfully. The garden offers you a sense of tranquility, suddenly you're in a different world although you're still in Bali.
The food was great. It was not overwhelmingly tasty, but it wasn't bland either. Try to do everything mindfully here. Enjoy your walk, enjoy the prayer both in group and in solitude. Enjoy the scenery, and on top of that, be thankful for every breath.
It is at this moment that Sleeping At Last's song 'Saturn' comes to mind - "How rare and beautiful it is to even exist". "

" Quite and peaceful place to do meditation, retreat and praying. Surrounded by fresh air in local Balinese village. Their home-made wine is worth to try. "
