7-Day Transformative Nianfo Meditation Retreat (Foqi):
A Journey of Inner Transformation
七日念佛禅修营（佛七）- 开启内在转化之旅
Join Us for a 7-Day Transformative Nianfo Meditation Retreat, also known as “Foqi” in Chinese, at our new Pure Land Centre in Melbourne (Montrose) - a rare opportunity to wholeheartedly immerse yourself in the practice of Nianfo meditation (Amitabha recitation). The retreat will be guided by Jiawen, an experienced Pure Land practitioner and teacher.
Held at our serene new Pure Land Centre in Montrose, nestled at the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges, this retreat provides an ideal environment to reconnect with your inner stillness and awaken to the boundless compassion of Amitabha Buddha — a reflection of our own Buddha nature.
欢迎您参加在海会山墨尔本净土中心举办的七日念佛禅修营（佛七） — 这是一次难得的机会，让您全心投入阿弥陀佛圣号的念诵修持中。佛七将全程由嘉文师兄带领。
禅修营在我们新成立环境清幽的净土中心举行，坐落于丹顿农山脉（Dandenong Ranges）山脚下，宁静安详，是重拾内心平静、与阿弥陀佛无限慈悲链接的理想之地。
🌿 What to Expect 禅修内容包括 :
Daily Nianfo meditation and chanting sessions 每日念佛净心，恢复内在宁静，开启自性的光明
Insightful Dharma (and Sutra) talks and heartfelt reflections on the Pure Land path 嘉文师兄分享佛陀智慧，包括对净土经典的讨论，启迪心灵，传递智慧光芒
Walking Nianfo meditation in the natural surrounds 大自然中念佛行禅，在脚步间体会当下的安定
Gentle movement practices (e.g., Qigong, Amitabha Yoga) 八段锦气功，弥陀瑜伽，柔和运动，调养身心
Amitabha Chanting Concerts 弥陀梵音唱诵音乐会
Wholesome and delicious vegetarian meals & heartfelt community 健康的素食餐点与温暖的修行团体
Our retreat centre is spacious, warm, and elegantly designed — featuring seven bedrooms and multiple shared living areas that offer comfort, tranquility, and space for reflection. From the moment you arrive, you'll feel embraced by the peaceful energy of the surroundings.
This retreat is especially beneficial for seasoned Nianfo practitioners seeking to deepen their practice and accumulate provisions for rebirth in the Pure Land. At the same time, those new to the practice will find a warm and supportive environment—meeting you where you are and offering a heart-opening introduction to the path.
我们的禅修中心环境宽敞、温馨雅致，设有七间卧室及多个共享起居空间，为您提供舒适、宁静与内省的修行氛围。自您踏入道场的那一刻起，便会感受到环境祥和安宁的能量，身心会自然放松。
本次禅修营对已有念佛基础的修行者尤其有益，有助于进一步深化念佛功夫，增上往生净土的资粮。同时，初学者也将在这个温暖支持的环境中，循序渐进地接触念佛法门，开启一段敞开心灵的净土之路。

What Do People Say? 参与者心得
"真心感恩诸佛菩萨的加持，让我能够从珀斯飞来，亲自参与这一系列殊胜的活动。“
我们刚刚圆满完成了第一期佛七（七月份），紧接着又迎来了观世音菩萨成道日的庆典。
在佛七期间，有一位同修至诚祈求阿弥陀佛赐予她一睹极乐世界的机会，果然得以一瞥净土庄严景象。她的信心因此大大增强，不再只是一般的念佛行者。听她亲口分享的经历，我深受感动。
在这次佛七中，有嘉文师兄为我们开示佛法，我得以释疑解惑。若是自己看经，恐怕也只能略略一读，难以深入理解净土经典的深义。
整个佛七中穿插了不同的活动，既充实又有趣，使修行过程更为轻松愉悦。我们的香积菩萨手艺精湛，每天准备的家常素食丰富多样，让人每日都很期待。我提前两天抵达中心，参与了一些义工服务，也为能为道场尽一点心力而感到欣慰。
观音成道日当天，有三十多位大众齐聚道场，一同参与盛会。我们一起学习《般若心经》，了解玄奘大师如何凭借此经远赴天竺求法，带回佛经，利益千秋。
真心感恩佛菩萨的慈悲与加持，让我得以亲身参与这次从珀斯远道而来的殊胜因缘。
南无阿弥陀佛 🙏🙏🙏

“Truelly grateful for Buddhas and Boddisattvas blessings I was able to participate in the events flying from Perth.”
Just completed our first 7-Days Foqi Retreat and following the celebration of Guan Shi Yin Pusa enlightenment day.
During the retreat one participant had a glimpse of the Pure Land as she sincerely requested Amituofo for the opportunity. Her faith has greatly enhanced and no longer an ordinary nianfo practitioner. I am personally touched by her encounter and happy to hear her story first hand.
With Jiawen our Dharma teacher, I was able to have a lot of questions answered. I would only be "glancing" through the meaning in the Pure Land Buddhism Sutras teaching if I were to read it myself.
A mixtures of activities throughout made the retreats interesting and enjoyable.
Homemade cooking chef was so good with her cookings, we looked forward to each days of varieties of dishes.
I arrived earlier two days earlier to do so volunteering works at the centre and felt pleased to be able to contribute.
On enlightenment day of Guan Shi Yin Pusa celebration, it was heartening to see some 30 participants joining the event. We learnt about the Heart Sutra and how it was used by Master Xuan Zang epic journey to India to learn from the Indian Master and to bring back the sutras to China.
Truelly grateful for Buddhas and Boddisattvas blessings I was able to participate in the events flying from Perth.
Amituofo 🙏🙏🙏
