Retreats are a great way to start a personal exploration of Buddhism, and of yourself. On retreat you can find a greater depth and intensity of spiritual practice than you are likely to have experienced before.  The monastery offers different  kinds of retreats to suit different schedules and preferences.

佛门中精进修行的一种仪规，随着修行方法的差异， 而有不同的名称与内涵。如： 用禅宗的参禅方法打七就叫做「禅七 」；用净土宗念佛法门打七叫做「佛七」；其它像专念观世音菩萨圣号的「观音七」；专持楞严咒、大悲咒的「楞严七」、「大悲七」等等，都是随修行法门而得名的。
