More About This Experience
Many come to Luang Prabang to find themselves, and what better way to do it then to unclutter your inner thoughts with a revered Buddhist monk in a pristine temple?
In this tour we will visit a senior monk and learning the art of meditation. You are also free to ask the monk any questions about Buddhism. After the meditation session, we will introduce you to an English Conversation Center where local Laotian students gather to practice their English skills with travelers. We will walk from the mediation temple to the English Conversation Center and walk back to the temple again. It takes about 7 minutes walk from temple to the English Conversation Center.
Finally, as our tour comes to a close, we will come back to the meditation temple to participate in a chanting and sitting meditation sessions later with monks and novices which starts at 6pm.
Note: You can skip the English Conversation Center and spend the hour to explore the area by yourself and come back to participate the chanting later at 6pm.
