Opening Ceremony for the Mountain Retreat Site

Today, April 22nd, chanting while hiking in the light drizzle, a small dedicated group processed up the Mountain Retreat Trail to 

celebrate and sanctify the opening of the 

White Jewel Mountain Retreat for this year. 

The White Jewel Mountain Retreat is an exceptional opportunity for a private meditation retreat for those who practice regularly at Shao Shan Temple.

Family program - Seeds of Spring

In the April 8th family program, the children and teens had the opportunity to plant seeds and talk about the growth of new life.   The parents discussed right-livelihood and we all together did a seed-sprouting exercise.
