Sieben Tage verbrachte ich im Zen-Kloster in Buchenberg, im Allgäu. Das Programm umfasste jeden Tag etwa 5 Stunden Zen-Meditation (Zazen, das Sitzen in Stille) und 2 Yoga-Einheiten. Jeden Tag den gleiche Ablauf, jedes Element folgt einer ganz festen Struktur, und das hauptsächlich im Schweigen.
I spent seven days at a Zen monastery in the German village of Buchenberg. The program contained about 5 hours of Zen meditation (zazen, sitting in silence) and 2 yoga classes per day. Each day followed the same schedule, each scheduled element followed a strict structure, and for most of the day this was all done in silence.
