SAVORING TEA AT SUNSET: A TRANQUIL EVENING AT NGOA VAN ZEN VILLAGE

The sunset afterglow dyes the sacred Ngoa Van sanctuary red – a place to return to one's roots to slow down and immerse in nature

Returning to the roots: Slowing down amidst the myriad clouds of Ngoa Van

Leaving behind the noise of the city, the journey to Ngoa Van is a trip back in time to seek refuge in the shade of our ancestors' wisdom. This cloud-covered sacred mountain invites us to pause, learn to live slowly, live profoundly, and reconnect with our own core values.

The short-term experience package is concisely designed for you to fully embrace the tranquil energy of the Patriarchal Land in just one falling afternoon.

Bao Dai trans-forest cable car - Entering the realm of inner peace

The journey begins with a cable car ride gliding through the vast Bao Dai forest to gaze at the floating misty valley. Amidst the immense heaven and earth, your mind naturally calms down, opening up to profound spiritual experiences ahead.

Venerating the Patriarchal Land of Ngoa Van Hermitage and entrusting wishes

Strolling on the tree-shaded trail to reach Middle Pagoda, Upper Pagoda, and Ngoa Van Hermitage, where Buddhist Emperor Tran Nhan Tong once practiced asceticism and entered Nirvana. In the heart of the Ngoa Van Patriarchal Land, you will personally write prayers for peace on wish ribbons and reverently hang them on ancient trees. This rustic activity helps the soul feel weightless, receiving wholesome energy from the ancestors.

Enjoying tea and watching the sunset on Ban Co Tien Peak

Ban Co Tien Peak (Fairy Chess Board Peak) is where the pure sacred energy of heaven and earth converges, an excellent coordinate for you to practice immersing in nature:

Mindful tea meditation and Zen songs

Gathering around the rustic tea table, you practice mindful tea drinking. Sipping elegant tea, eating a light pastry, all worldly distractions completely vanish with the smoke. Blending with the tea fragrance, rustic Zen songs resonate amidst the mountains and forests, awakening gratitude, harmony, and positive life energy.

Letting-go breathing meditation under the sunset afterglow

When the radiant red afterglow dyes the sacred peak, you will enter a gentle breathing meditation session. Every exhale helps let go of fatigue, every inhale helps receive pure vitality. Watching the sun set behind the mountain in a centered state of mind helps you regenerate energy and further cherish a meaningful life.

Bringing peace and knowledge back to everyday life

Before descending the mountain, you will be presented with a meaningful gift: the book Ngoa Van - The Land of the Buddhist Emperor. This gift of knowledge will accompany and remind you to maintain a mindful lifestyle, living usefully when returning to the busy daily rhythm. The luggage brought back is a steady inner self and a heart overflowing with gratitude.
