The center is Tendai, a Japanese Buddhist school that Zen developed from. Everybody is made welcome at the center.

I met all the ministers and ppl who devoted their lives there as to serve others, learn and study Korean Taoism and WON Buddhism. I love everyone I have encountered and not to mentioned their yummy nutritious meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner). I love the mindful eating virtue every morning. It was silent breakfast. We greeted each other with a nod, a bow and a smile. The minsters and staffs are welcoming and friendly! Everything is mindfulness practice. From closing the door gently to peeling the egg. I observed and I learned from them. I have always loved the Korean or Asian culture and foods! After the retreat l, I got inspired to recreate the vegetarian dishes at home. I kept reminding myself to get in touch with nature more and the simplicity of life. I would love to study more of the Buddhism, meditation and more with the ministers and my teacher!

It has inspired me to learn more about their practices. And the drive along the backroads of the Catskills during the fall was one of the prettiest I've ever taken!

We have had two outdoor musical services that were fabulous. Hope we can congregate again soon.read more
