“Complete Rest” is a quiet, flexible temple stay for anyone who wants to slow down and unwind in the peaceful natural surroundings of Donghwasa.
Spend your time at your own pace — resting, walking, meditating, or simply enjoying the quiet atmosphere of the temple. This is a chance to step away from the stress of daily life and gently restore balance to your body and mind.
