Nichiren Buddhist Practice Intensive in Atlanta in May
Hi everyone,
This is to let everyone here know that I will be conducting an intensive practice retreat this coming May in Atlanta, Georgia. It will be held at the Nipponzan Myohoji temple. There is limited lodging available at the temple on a first come first serve basis. The cost for the retreat is $50 for all four days to cover food, but one may also wish to offer dana to the staff (which would be myself and the Tenzo or head cook). It is $15/day if you can only come to some of it. Though people are encouraged to come on Wed. night, the retreat will begin in earnest on Thursday morning and continue until Sunday at noon (though lunch will be offered on Sunday). This is a rare opportunity to participate in a rigorous form of Nichiren Buddhist practice for a four day period and to get more in-depth instruction in the meaning of the Three Jewels and the Three Great Hidden Dharmas according to the writings of Nichiren Shonin and the Lotus Sutra. This is open to those interested in Nichiren Buddhist practice anywhere in the world. All you have to do is come to Atlanta.
