A temple stay program incorporating Seon Buddhist meditation improved mindfulness, self-compassion, and quality of life. In a quasi-experimental design with 27 adults in the experimental group and 29 in the control group, the 3-day, 2-night program led to gains on all three measures compared to the control group. The findings provide empirical support for the program's effectiveness.
