Journey through the serene depths of an ancient forest and explore the sacred temple that cradles profound wisdom and complex challenges. The Eightfold Path is an immersive puzzle and exploration adventure steeped in the teachings of Buddhism, inviting you to embark on a quest towards enlightenment.
Know from the rivers in clefts and in crevices: those in small channels flow noisily, the great flow silent. Whatever’s not full makes noise. Whatever is full is quiet.

Meditation
Whenever your mind is not at ease, find a safe place, sit down and take a moment to relax. Focus on your breathing. Feel your body. This will enable you to open gates and move forward.
Looking deeply at life as it is in this very moment, the meditator dwells in stability and freedom.
