THE EXPERIENCE

A place to practise.

Guangyou published a residential mindfulness retreat at Miaofeng Study Lodge in the hills of Nanzhuang, with meals and accommodation explicitly included in the arrangements. The programme allowed several participation lengths. Its evidence is historical and announcement based; the organiser's later classes should not be taken as proof that this particular temple still hosts residential courses.

What you can practise

  • satipatthana
  • Vipassana meditation

Where you will stay

Accommodation and meals at the temple venue were supported through donations; exact room arrangements unspecified.

The host & location

Miaofeng Study Lodge is the historical venue; Guangyou is the visiting organiser. Later organiser activity does not establish current residential use here.

DETAILS TO CLARIFY

  • The 2020 announcement proves a published plan, not independently that it occurred.
  • Later Guangyou activities must not be assumed to use this Miaoli venue.
  • The teacher's bilingual background does not establish English delivery at this specific camp.
