THE EXPERIENCE

A place to practise.

Jiulian’s published notices describe seated practice, breath meditation and Cundi practice at a temple outside central Dalian. A summer notice explicitly addresses food and lodging, while an autumn notice records a further multi-day retreat. These make it a useful northern candidate, but the accessible programme evidence is historical and current admission remains unconfirmed.
