Cultivation

Our core practice evolves around meditation and the mindfulness of the Buddha's teaching. Resident nuns are responsible for domestic chores. In the appreciation of Canadian's cherish for and preservation of a green environment, we also feel that every additional inch of greens nourishes an equal part of life. Therefore in the earlier days of the establishment, the residents have planted over six hundred trees around the property, cultivated vegetable patches and orchards. The whole process of living a simple life is in itself a total mindful experience: it has to be realized through both stillness and activities. This practice has been spreading to all walks of life through time.
