Temple Stay 寺院生活体验

Just as a lotus bud gradually opens to reveal its true nature, our Temple Stay programme offers you the chance to unfold your Buddha nature, deepen your understanding of Buddhism and experience the life of a Sangha.

Choose to observe the Eight Precepts during your stay, dedicating the merits to your parents as an act of filial piety. In doing so, you plant seeds of good karma, paving the way for a brighter future and a favourable rebirth.

Throughout your Temple Stay, you will be staying in the monastery, actively participating in a variety of activities, including:

  • Morning and Evening Chants: Discover tranquillity within the Buddhist scriptures.
  • Sitting Meditation and Walking Meditation: Delve into self-reflection, enhancing your focus, and relieving stress and anxiety.
  • Vegetarian Meals: Savour each bite, reconnecting with the essence and nourishment of natural ingredients.
  • Monastery Duties and Chores: Engage in the responsibilities of monastic life, fostering a profound connection between your mind and body.

 

Our Temple Stay program offers a rare opportunity for deep self-reflection and mindfulness. We encourage you to minimise the use of electronic devices and maintain noble silence during your stay, facilitating a heightened sense of self-awareness.

Note:
The Temple Stay programme (3 to 14 days) is exclusively open to Singapore citizens, PRs, or individuals with a Singapore work pass or student pass, aged 17 to 60. Please submit your application form at least three weeks before your intended stay via templestay@kmspks.org. Once your application is approved, you will receive a notification via email at least ten days before your arrival.

*Female participants must register as a group consisting of a minimum of four individuals to participate in the temple stay.

 

犹如莲花在泥泞中绽放,我们的寺院生活体验将引领您开展内在佛性,深入体悟佛法,同时体验僧人的日常生活。

期间,您可以选择持守八关斋戒,藉此殊胜因缘将功德回向给双亲以表孝心,同时播种善因乐果,培植往生善道的福德因缘。

在寺院生活体验期间,您将全程入住寺院,并且与住众一同参与:

  • 早晚课诵——让心安住于梵呗经文中。
  • 静坐行禅——内观自心,提高专注,从而缓解内心的压力和焦虑。
  • 素食食养——让每一口米饭都回归食材的本味与滋养。
  • 出坡作务——在出坡作务中,与身心进行对话。

 

寺庙生活体验是一次难得的静心之旅,我们鼓励您在期间减少使用电子设备,保持禁语;提升觉知,观照自心。

注意:
寺院生活体验(3至14天)仅开放给新加坡公民、永久居民或持有新加坡工作准证或学生准证,并且年龄在17至60岁之间的学员参与。请在计划参与寺院生活体验的至少三周前将申请表格电邮至templestay@kmspks.org。一旦您的申请获得批准,您将在至少十天前通过电子邮件接获通知。
