THE EXPERIENCE

A place to practise.

Donglin’s residential practice centres on Pure Land recitation and the communal routines surrounding it. A temple-attributed notice explicitly reserves beds for accepted retreat participants, giving firmer evidence than general claims of free temple stays. The ancestral monastery and Pure Land Garden are different campuses; this record’s documented retreat belongs to the ancestral monastery.
