Buddhist Retreats

Published by: cfz 2010-03-16

Hi, I am looking to go on a 3-6 month Buddhist retreat, anywhere in the world, starting approximately at the beginning of January,2003. Looking for a fairly extensive list of places or orgs which offer this, and then I will look into each one more carefully. Thanks for your help.

Hello! While word of mouth is likely to turn up some worthy candidates for you, here are some places for you to begin your search for an extended retreat. There’s tremendous variety represented here, but a quick check indicates that all these promote extended individual retreats. Best wishes, and I hope that something here will lead to a satisfying experience for you.
