THE EXPERIENCE

A place to practise.

Earth Healer's Sha Tin programme combined Tibetan Buddhist teaching, sitting and walking meditation, and optional precepts with three nights of accommodation. The published language split is unusually clear: the teacher's classes used English with Cantonese translation, while group practice used Cantonese. This is a historical residential event with a mixed curriculum, not a standing English retreat offer.

What you can practise

  • Tibetan Buddhist meditation
  • walking meditation
  • sitting meditation
  • Buddhist study

Where you will stay

Three nights, vegetarian meals and several room-occupancy options were offered.
