Winter Retreat in San Jose: Amitabha Recitation Week

Amitabha Recitation Week, or FoQi, is a one-week retreat centered on the recitation of Amitabha Buddha’s name and the practice of Pure Land Dharma. Through steady recitation and a supportive temple environment, the mind gradually settles and becomes unified.

Participants often experience deeper calm, improved concentration, and a quiet sense of bliss that nourishes both body and mind. This retreat is suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners who wish to strengthen their practice through continuity and simplicity.
