山中静修 · 净心之旅
Join us for a transformative weekend of self-discovery at our upcoming Nianfo Meditation Retreat, guided by Jiawen.
This year, we invite you to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of our new Pure Land Retreat Centre in Montrose, nestled at the foothills of the majestic Dandenong Ranges — just over an hour’s drive from Melbourne City. Surrounded by lush greenery, fresh mountain air, and the calming presence of native birdlife, this retreat offers a peaceful escape from the busyness of daily life.
Throughout the weekend, we will delve into the heart of Pure Land practice: Nianfo Meditation (Amitabha recitation)— a simple yet profound method to cultivate mindfulness, joy and spiritual clarity.
欢迎您参加由嘉文师兄带领的周末念佛净心营，开启一段自我探索与身心净化的转化旅程。本次禅修营将在我们全新的海会山墨尔本净土道场举行，中心位于风景如画的蒙特罗斯（Montrose），坐落于巍峨壮丽的大丹顿农山麓，距离墨尔本市区仅不到一小时车程。绿意环绕、山风清凉、本土鸟鸣悠扬，这里为您提供一片远离尘嚣、回归内心宁静的疗愈圣地。
在这个周末，我们将深入修学净土法门的核心——念佛（称念“阿弥陀佛”圣号），这是一种看似简单却极其深奥的修行方法，帮助我们培养正念、喜悦与心灵的清明。

Daily Nianfo meditation sessions to restore inner calm & gain clarity
Walking meditation in nature, embracing stillness with each step

What Do People Say? 参与者心得
“I feel very blessed to have experienced the weekend retreat.
The venue was beautiful, quiet in nature and nourishing to the soul, the program and teachings with discussions were enlightening, and the various ways of conducting nianfo meditation showed how it was very easy to meditate. The other participants, both experienced and newbies, were all lovely and I had an awesome retreat.
I am finding it very easy to practise Nianfo meditation since I returned to my everyday life. Anytime, anywhere, any situation.
Amituofo.”
“我感到非常有福气，能参与这个周末的禅修营。
禅修地点优美宁静，亲近自然，滋养身心；课程安排与佛法讲解令人启发深思，讨论也十分受益。念佛禅修的多种方式让我体会到——原来念佛其实非常简单、容易入门。其他参与者，无论是资深修行者还是初学者，都非常亲切可爱，这次禅修让我感到十分喜悦与满足。
自从回到日常生活后，我发现自己随时随地都能轻松念佛，任何时间、任何地点、任何状态。
阿弥陀佛。”

"The retreat was everything I could have hoped for.
The beautiful surroundings created the perfect space to deepen my practice, and being surrounded by like-minded retreatants made the experience very special. The retreat leader’s deep knowledge and guidance were invaluable and provided insights that greatly enriched my motivation and practice of Amitabha recitation.
I left feeling renewed, inspired, and more connected to my practice than ever before. I dearly hope to be able to attend again next year. Amituofo."
“这次禅修营完全超出了我的期待。
优美宁静的环境，为我深化修行提供了理想的空间；与一群志同道合的修行者共处，更让我感受到这段旅程的殊胜与特别。禅修带领者具足深厚的智慧与引导力，她的教导给予我莫大的启发，也极大地增强了我念佛修行的动力与信心。
离开时，我感到身心焕然一新，内心充满启发，也比以往任何时候都更加与自己的念佛修行产生了深切连结。我由衷希望明年还能再次参加。
阿弥陀佛。”

“This year’s retreat was great.
Beautiful lodge with view over the beach when sunset falls. Wake up to watch early sunrise. Morning walk to the beach was relaxing.
We do Qigong exercises. Do nianfo, listened to Dharma talk by Jiawen and have discussions over Dharma.
Vegetarian Meals were superbly prepared by homecooking chef. Every dish was delicious (not because I was hungry).
Wonderful to exchange friendships with people you met for the first time.
Amituofo.”
今年的禅修营真的很棒。
我们住在一栋美丽的山庄，黄昏时可以看到海边的日落，清晨醒来还能欣赏日出。早上散步到海滩，令人身心放松。
我们练了气功、念佛、听嘉文的佛法开示，也一起讨论佛法。
素食餐由家常厨师用心烹调，每一道菜都非常美味（不是因为我饿了 😄）。
最开心的是能与初次见面的同修结下善缘，彼此交流，结交法友。
阿弥陀佛。”

“Such a blessing
Amitoufo Jiawen 🙏 I wanted to thank you for organising and leading the amazing weekend retreat. I'm back home now, and feel it's ongoing benefit in refreshing and invigorating my practice. It is such a blessing to be able to spend time with others whose minds are focused on the Dharma and appreciate the inconceivable compassion of Amitabha Buddha in making his great vows and creating the path to Sukhavati for us.
And what a blessing to be there at the beginning the new sanctuary at Montrose. Surely it will become a Pure Land in the midst of Samsara. I look forward to visiting it many time over the coming years.
“如此殊胜的因缘，感恩不尽。
阿弥陀佛，嘉文 🙏 衷心感谢您用心筹办并引领这次精彩的周末禅修营。我现在已回到家中，但仍能感受到这次禅修带来的持续加持，清新而振奋了我的修行之心。
能与一群同样专注于佛法的同行者共度这段时光，并一同感念阿弥陀佛不可思议的大愿与为我们开辟往生极乐之路的慈悲，实在是一份莫大的福报。
更让我法喜充满的，是能够亲身见证蒙特罗斯这个新道场的启用。它必将成为轮回中一处人间净土。我期待未来还能有多次回访的机会，与道场共同成长。
阿弥陀佛。”
