Every year in the middle of winter, the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas holds an Amitabha Buddha Recitation Session. Amitabha ("Limitless Light") Buddha recitation practice is part of the Pure Land School in Buddhism where practitioners single-mindedly recite his name, saying, "Namo Amitoufo" (Homage to Amitabha Buddha). During a session, we have to concentrate fully on the practice and connect with his compassionate vows.
(These two weeks are followed by a three week Chan (Zen) meditation session). Both of these sessions begin at 4am in the morning and going until 9:45pm or 12am at night.
Cost: Suggested donation to cover room and board is $125/wk or $20/day.
Join us for an intensive two week-long Dharma retreat at the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas.
