ZEN EXPERIENCE
bathroom
For Zen monks, bathing is an essential part of their training to remove dirt from their mind and body.
This bathroom was built as a training place for practitioners at the International Zen Training Hall.
The bathroom is one of the seven regular buildings (temple gate, lecture hall, Buddha hall, meditation hall, living quarters, lavatory, bath) of a traditional Buddhist temple and the place where Battabara Bosatsu is worshipped. In Zen, the study of Buddhism lies in the daily routines and each place is used for practice. Washing off the dirt both physically and spiritually plays an important role in the daily practice. It is also open for all visitors, who want to wash away the dirt of body and mind.
