One Month Chan Meditation Retreat
Saturday, May 25 – Saturday, June 25, 2013.
BLI’s Chan retreat is open to monastics and laypeople. In addition, it is a perfect opportunity for those interested in residential training at Lu Mountain Temple to experience cultivation under Dharma Master YongHua’s guidance. For more info about training with BLI, please click here.
As the traditional ChanQi schedule is very intensive (see below), participants follow as much of the schedule as they are able, and can take additional rests as necessary. To prepare for this retreat, you may find it helpful to practice according to Master YongHua’s Chan Handbook, which you can purchase here.
Offered on a donation basis, the retreat is open to part time participation: come for a single sit, a day, a week, or the whole month. If you would like to stay overnight, please fill out either the Sangha Training application or the Laity Training application. For more information, contact Ven. XianJie at: xianjie@ChanPureland.org, or (626) 280-8801.

I am right now looking for a monastery in Tibet- not a mediation center- which I can do vipassana meditation for 10 days or 2 weeks. Is there a place like that in Tibet? I find some in Nepal but I really want to go to Tibet because I have already visited Nepal and Tibet was always very interesting for me.

As you can see, the traditional ChanQi schedule that we follow is intensive. Participants are encouraged to sit as much of the schedule as they can, however they may sit out some periods if they need a break.
