Winter Retreat in San Francisco: 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.

Dates: December 27, 2025 – January 3, 2026 (You can join anytime time during the day and leave anytime during the day)

Locations:

• Dharma Treasury Temple, 3201 Ulloa Street, San Francisco, CA

• Gold Forest Chan Meditation Center, 796 Delmas Avenue, San Jose, CA

Winter FoQi is an invitation to slow down, return to the Buddha’s name, and let the mind rest in clarity and peace.
