Passing the Torch

After 3 years, 3 months and 3 days, the retreatants will leave their retreat and will be meet by the new retreatants entering retreat. Both groups will make an offering ceremony at the temple: the participants leaving retreat to give thanks for the success completion of their retreat and the new participants to begin their retreat in an auspicious way.

Like an uninterrupted circle, the retreatants and their practices will follow one another, thus maintaining a strong spiritual connection.
