The Practice of Wonderment and Interfusion: 5-Day Silent Retreat

A five-day silent Chan retreat in which Guo Gu teaches the practice of wonderment as a way through the habits of selfing and othering, offered for practitioners aged 18 to 35.

Chan is freedom, expressed through wisdom and compassion. Awakening in Chan means the direct experience of being freed from self-referentiality and vexations.
