The Meditation Practice of Xa Loi Temple is grounded in the That Bao Huyen Mon Meditation Method - In this practice we combine traditional breathing meditation and mindfulness meditation with mantras for the healing of body, mind and spirit. These mantras activate the power within each of us to transform our suffering.
