What the differences between "7-Days Meditation Retreat", "Varsity 7-Days Meditation Retreat" and "7-Days Chan Meditation Retreat" ?

"7-Days Meditation Retreat" and "Varsity 7-Days Meditation Retreat" are foundational meditation courses, primarily designed for beginners or first-time participants. "Varsity 7-Days Meditation Retreat" is often scheduled during college holidays and mainly targets college students.

In both "7-Days Meditation Retreat" and "Varsity 7-Days Meditation Retreat", each meditation session lasts 30 minutes. Detailed guidance is provided on the seven-point sitting posture and yoga exercises, with two meditation teachings offered daily.

"7-Days Chan Meditation Retreat" (or higher) is open to participants who have attended at least five meditation courses. Each meditation session lasts 45 minutes, with only one teaching session per day.

"7-Days Chan Meditation Retreat" does not include instruction on the seven-point sitting posture or yoga exercises. Participants are expected to have a certain level of experience and be familiar with meditation hall rules, course rhythms, and procedures. It is a more intensive and advanced meditation course.

Is "Registering an Account" the same as "Online Registration (Course )"?

No, they are not the same. "Registering an Account" only requires filling in your name, email, and password, while "Online Registration (Course)" involves completing the full application form. These two processes are not the same thing.

Does "Online Registration (Course)" accept mixed use of Traditional and Simplified Chinese?

Yes! Whether you are filling out the form on the Traditional Chinese page or the Simplified Chinese page, you can use a mix of Traditional and Simplified characters (applicable in Chinese only).

Can I apply both "online" and via "PDF"?

Please do not do this. Submit your application through only one method to avoid disrupting the workflow of the volunteer team behind the scenes.

What are the benefits of "Online Registration"?

  • Simple and Easy
    The browser's auto-fill feature can automatically input your name, email, address, and other details, making the application process simple and effortless.
     
  • Streamlined Process
    Compared to PDF, online forms can be automatically converted into electronic reports, eliminating the need for manual processing by volunteers. This reduces their workload and minimizes the chance of errors.
     
  • Easier Enlightenment
    Did you really believe that? If so, maybe you shouldn’t come after all. 


We encourage everyone to use the online application system. It’s convenient for you and reduces the workload for volunteers, benefiting both yourself and others.

Can I assist my friends (who are unfamiliar with online technology) with their applications?

  • Yes, you can! If you can guide them to complete the process themselves, that would be ideal.
     
  • If you use your own account to help a friend apply, the Admission Notification will only be sent to your email inbox.
     
  • If you help your friend create a new account and use that account for online registration, the Admission Notification will be sent to their email inbox.

How do I start the online registration?

  • Click on the "Online Registration Tutorial" and follow the step-by-step instructions to complete the online application process.
     
  • The first-time online registration may take some effort, but with patience and practice, you will be able to complete it successfully.
