THE EXPERIENCE

A place to practise.

Puzhao's archived programme is unusually concrete about residential weekend practice: guests arrived on Friday and followed early liturgy and sitting sessions through the weekend. A later notice documents a three-day intensive. These primary records establish a meaningful history of lay retreats. They do not show a current schedule, so availability and the present teaching format need to be reconfirmed.
