This retreat is an introduction for people who want to explore Buddhism,
its philosophy and practice. Central to the Buddhist teachings is
a presentation of meditation practices designed to calm the mind and
evoke insight into the dynamics of reality.
We
will begin the day with an introductory tour of Chuang Yen Monastery,
one of the biggest Buddhist temple in north America. Then follow Master
Guangzhi Xing to learn moving meditation, tai chi breathing patterns and
stress release stretching techniques. A vegetarian lunch at the Five
Contemplations Hall will give you a unique experience of Buddhist
lifestyle. You will then join Buddhist monks inside the Kuan Yin Hall, a
Tang Dynasty (618AD-907AD) style architecture, to practice sitting and
walking meditation and learn the fundamentals of Buddhism. The
five-colored statue of Kuan-Yin inside the Kuan Yin Hall is from Ming
Dynasty and is the largest porcelain Kuan-Yin in the world. Complete
your day refreshed, relaxed and relieved.
