Temple stay provides a chance for people to heal their minds, bodies and souls with the grace of the Buddha and engage in self-reflection. Many Buddhist temples open their doors to people of all ages so that they can learn about traditional culture and become one with nature.

Visitors can learn about the lives of Buddhist monks through the experience programs such as barugongyang (baru-meal with four pieces of traditional wooden bowl) and tea ceremonies. These programs help the participants get rid of anguish and other negative emotions within themselves. Also, they engage in self-examination and Zen meditation as a way to understand themselves and for a spiritually enriching experience. They can also let go of the obsessions of the secular world, while taking a leisurely walk along the forest trails, and appreciate the beauty of tranquility, while enjoying a cup of tea.
