Meditation from the Buddhist tradition in Chiemgau

Ziehen Sie sich zurück in das Mountain Retreat Center in der Chiemgauer Bergwelt. Das Retreat Center hat 20 Zimmer mit Ausblick in die beeindruckende Naturlandschaft der Alpen. Da kann es schon passieren, dass man aus dem Nichts ins Staunen kommt. Immer wieder aufs Neue. Jedes unserer Zimmer ist für sich ein Rückzugsort der besonderen Art. Klein, fein, gemütlich.

All meals at the Mountain Retreat Center are vegetarian and vegan. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day—at least according to the Chinese. That’s why we place special emphasis on a good, healthy breakfast—always featuring warm porridge. For lunch, you’ll enjoy soup, bread, and spreads, and in the evening, you’ll be treated to a delicious buffet featuring salad, creative vegetarian and vegan main courses, and dessert. Everything is freshly prepared and, whenever possible, made with seasonal ingredients. We can accommodate food intolerances with advance notice.

Through meditation, you learn to see things as they truly are. Meditation is a way to explore the body, heart, and mind. In this retreat, you will learn practical methods for integrating meditation into your daily life. This helps us focus the mind and cultivate mindfulness.
Discover what it means to truly be present with yourself and, through that, to feel inner peace and pure happiness.

When we begin to see things as they truly are, we recognize what causes suffering in our lives and what leads to happiness, joy, and freedom.
If we choose to be happy and recognize the causes of happiness, happiness will arise—it becomes clear to us which aspects of the mind lead to greater peace and which ones repeatedly make us unhappy. Our freedom lies in the wisdom of choice.
Buddhist teachings offer concepts that are more relevant today than ever before. They can serve as an anchor amid the challenges of daily life.
Yoga exercises, integrated into the flow of the breath, provide movement, prepare the body and mind for meditation, and facilitate centered, focused sitting.
