The Monastic Experience Retreat intends to provide an environment and community to allow those laities, who aspire to increase the merit of human and celestial beings, to experience the spirit of Six Harmonies in a sangha community and thus to plant the wholesome root of the supra mundane liberation. Participants must obey the eight precepts through the entire duration of the program so as to cultivate the growth of the merit of celestial beings.
The contents of this program contain not only an introduction to Dharma (the three studies of S?la – Morality, Sam?dhi – Concentration and Pann? – Wisdom), guidance on meditation and monastic disciplines etc, but, for the purpose of coordinating with this monastery’s program of “Kuan-Yin Bodhisattva’s Enlightenment Ceremony”, also discussions on the topic of the “compassion” in Buddhism.
