THE EXPERIENCE

A place to practise.

Baofeng's published camp notices describe residential Chan practice on Xiqiao Mountain, with the temple coordinating meals, lodging and access. The format is more structured than a casual overnight visit, with a limited group and an application process. The evidence is historical and reprinted. Readers should wait for a fresh temple notice that spells out the current programme and eligibility.
