Intended for those who have experience with our practice at Shasta Abbey, this retreat focuses on monastic life at Shasta Abbey. Dharma talks are given on the many aspects of monastic practice: renunciation, the master-disciple relationship, celibacy, living on alms, community life, rules and discipline, and commitment to the Bodhisattva vows. There will also be time for questions and discussions. This retreat is meant to shed some light on the monastic path and attending it in no way commits one to monastic life.
We welcome those who are considering the monastic path for themselves as well as those who are simply interested in knowing more about monastic training.
