THE EXPERIENCE

A place to practise.

This Nanhua Temple is in Qian County, Shaanxi, and should not be confused with the better-known Guangdong monastery. An earlier notice connects meditation teaching with a residential stay and vegetarian temple life. The programme is historical, and some old entry conditions are clearly time-specific. Confirm the current method, teacher and guest arrangements before considering it for publication as an open retreat.
