“I feel like a veil has been lifted; it is deeply profound without being overwhelming.”

“The retreat offered an opportunity to rest in the beauty of nature.. I will try to remember the teachings practiced there—that life is simple after all; be generous in your thoughts and positive under any circumstance.”

“I cannot begin to express the lasting impact attending the Summer retreat at Dai Boastsu Zendo has continued to have on my life many weeks later. A container of love is created by all who participate. The moment you step foot into the guest house you feel a sense of camaraderie. We share laughter, joy, tears, breakthroughs, and heartaches. Since returning home, I feel lighter and happier; my relationships have improved, and I've maintained the habit of going to bed and waking up earlier. I am lighter and happier and my relationships have improved! This experience has transformed my attitude toward everything I do and am, for the better. I cannot imagine who the person is, that this retreat would not benefit.”
