Summary/Abstract: To find some answers in self-regulation field, we were living and meditating together with Vietnamese monks and nuns. We came to Vietnamese Truc Lam zen monastery together with eleven people, mainly students of psychology from Gdansk University. We stayed three weeks in monastery, and were the first European group, which received the permission from local state administration to stay in closed part of monastery, only used by monks and nuns to practice meditation and living. We got special clothes, special lessons of meditation and the basic outline of the philosophy of science.
