2022 Fo Guang Shan North America One Day Retreat

Working, learning, and practicing together as a community is one of the core aspects of Buddhist practice. The One-Day Retreat provides an opportunity to do this—both in person and online!

This retreat will focus on developing altruism and expanding our capacity for assisting all beings. After reflecting inward, we can look outward and extend a compassionate hand to make this world a better place.

In addition to learning about Buddhism, participants joining us in person will have the rare opportunity to immerse themselves in a serene environment and get a sample of what life in a monastery is like.

From Dharma talks to chanting, meditation, and contemplations at mealtime, this retreat will introduce participants to a holistic Buddhist practice and help incorporate Buddhism into every moment of one's life.
