Yangshan Qiyin Chan Temple

THE EXPERIENCE

A place to practise.

Yangshan’s co-organiser documented a week-long residential Chan course combining meditation, Buddhist teaching and ordinary temple activities. The notice explicitly allowed participants regardless of nationality, while requiring self-care and respectful conduct. That makes it a valuable historical lead for international readers, but neither English teaching nor the same admission policy can be assumed for a future visit.
