We have scheduled three seven-day group retreats at the temple. The first one is scheduled for April 18-24, 2026. Because it is so soon and we know many of you will not be able to schedule a seven-day event on such short notice, you can attend all or part of the retreat and you can either stay at the temple or commute from home or wherever you choose. The other two retreats are scheduled for June19-25 and October 10-16, 2026 and will require a full seven day commitment. They will start at 5:00 am, so you may want to come to the temple a day early. Our space is very limited, so this is a first come, first served basis for enrollment and accommodations. Instructions for the Ru Lai Zheng Fa Meditation, the Oryoki meals, Temple cultivation, and the Morning and Evening chanting will be provided. If you have not yet done so, you should read H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III’s The Great Dharma of Zen Practice before attending. There is also a brief summary of that discourse that can help you prepare for this retreat. We stopped doing group retreats when COVID hit, but I am hoping we can continue with three per year–Spring, Summer (before annual Buddha Master Birthday Dharma Assembly), and Autumn. There are also several private Solitary Retreats planned for this year.
