Annual Dharma Retreat, July 3rd–8th, 2007

As is the tradition, the annual Dharma Retreat hosted by the Yin-shun Foundation at Bodhi Monastery features Dharma talks, meditation sessions, study groups, and liturgy — a balanced blend of the intellectual, contemplative, and emotional sides of the Buddhist path.

English Program: Tuesday, July 3rd–Thursday, July 5th, 2007
The English program of the retreat runs for three days and includes a general range of Dharma teachings. Those who are staying over for the entire English Program are welcome to stay on for the rest of the retreat and use the additional time for independent study and practice. Lectures will be given by Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi, Ven. Thich Tri Hoang, Ven. Bhikkhu Dhamma(dipa), and Michael Roehm. Ven. Xin-xing will lead the early afternoon meditation each day.
