THE EXPERIENCE

A place to practise.

Zhenningjing’s youth retreats place seated practice, liturgy, scripture copying and discussion within ordinary temple life in Qingtian. Repeated dated notices explicitly provide meals and lodging, with limited places and advance registration. The most recent located programme was in May 2025. This is a useful short residential option to follow when the temple publishes its next intake.
