5Meditating in a Monastery in Bhutan
Nestled in the Himalayas, Bhutan is one of the few places in the world where spirituality and mindfulness are woven into everyday life. Known for its focus on Gross National Happiness rather than GDP, Bhutan is a country that prioritizes well-being, nature, and culture. A visit to Bhutan offers the opportunity to immerse yourself in a Buddhist lifestyle, and one of the most profound experiences is staying at a monastery.
In Bhutan, you can take part in silent meditation retreats, where you live among monks, practice mindfulness, and detach from the distractions of the modern world. The serene landscapes of the Tiger’s Nest Monastery or Punakha Dzong provide the perfect backdrop for inner reflection. This experience helps you focus on the present moment, cultivate inner peace, and gain a clearer perspective on your life’s purpose.
