A letter of Invitation for the Retreat of June, 2023

Dear Sangha and Dharma friends,

We would like to invite everyone to join us for the upcoming one week intensive Huatou Meditation Retreat. Starting from June 10th to June 16th, 2023.  It is a great opportunity for both the experienced and beginning practitioners.

The practice focuses on Huatou meditation which awakens our transcendent wisdom (prajna) and allows ourselves to be free from attachments and sufferings.
