A beautiful learning experience - I have read a lot about Buddhism and kept my own personal meditation practice for some years, so I came hoping to learn more and deepen my practice. Happy to say this retreat did not disappoint - Hung is a clear and informative teacher, with lots of information and practices unique to Vietnamese Mahayana Buddhism. Highly recommend!

Wonderful day with buddhas teachings and meditations - This was such an inspiring and beautiful day - I learned so much about Buddhism and about the „real meditating“ that will help me back home in stressful times. If you want to wind down from the busy city, go to this wonderful place of calmness and insights :)

Hieu and Ngọc - Buddhist retreat - Hieu and Ngọc were very happy to answer any questions we had about Buddhism and their community. They are very knowledgeable and wise and planned a very fun and rewarding day for our group. The group size was perfect, and we went for a fun vegetarian meal after releasing some fish into the West Lake. The community welcomed us warmly, and we joined in singing extra songs and were invited back for their festival. One of my best experiences on my travels so far—I would highly recommend it.

Very good experience - We had a great experience today and learned many new things about meditation and Buddhism. The pagode in Hanoi was a perfect place to practice the meditation lessons. We have been guided the 4 hours perfectly by Hung and the both very kind Ladies. Thank you so much for the time and impulses.

Unique way to explore mindfulness amidst busy travel schedule - Beautiful and very thoughtful tour that covered core Buddhist principles and how we can apply them to our everyday life. Our guides were amazing with great knowledge and peaceful approach that really elevated the whole experience. I learned correct meditation techniques and how to connect with our body and quiet our mind, which is very much needed to deal with everyday stress.

Fantastic and meaningful Buddhist teachings - What an amazing experience today! It was very interesting to learn about Vietnamese Buddhism and their form of meditation. Hung and Hieu were so informative and I am glad I spent the morning with them. They helped me to heal wounds from childhood, enjoy nature, and a lovely vegan lunch together. I would highly suggest taking this tour!
