Yong Maeng Jong Jin, or simply YMJJ retreats, are silent retreats in which participants follow a schedule of bowing, sitting, chanting, eating, working, and resting with an emphasis on sitting meditation. During the retreat each participant typically has interviews with a Zen Master or Ji Do Poep Sa Nim. These retreats are an excellent opportunity to clear the mind of habitual thinking and generate energy to practice in everyday life. Participants should register at least 48 hours in advance, and bring loose clothing and toilet articles. Beginners are very welcome. If you are interested in learning more about YMJJ retreats the international head temple of the Kwan Um School of Zen has a Yong Maeng Jong Jin Orientation Guide available in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format that contains more information.
Please Note: during retreat events all regular practice activities are cancelled.
