2024年10月泰国清迈密集禅修营。
来自世界各地的修行者再次齐聚清迈宁静优美的帕多伊沙给寺（Wat Phra Doi Saket）。
与往年相比，今年的禅修营取得了多项重要突破。尤其是，营期延长至三周，成为历来时间最长的一次。每天安排长达8小时的坐禅，包括3至4座、每座2小时；经行的时间也相应增加。为支持更深入的修行，在坐禅之间还加入了晃海（坐式转腰）及正念活动等辅助练习。此外，部分参加者在整个营期止语，并完全不使用智能手机。
这些突破也反映出修行者对真实佛法修行日益开放、接受，并逐步与正确的修行道路相应。愿所有同修在佛法道上不断精进，充满法喜，最终成就自利利他的真实利益。我们将此次禅修营的共修功德回向世界和平、诸位大德长久住世，以及佛法在世界各地永续兴盛。
October 2024 Intensive Meditation Retreat in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Practitioners from around the world once again gathered at the tranquil and picturesque Wat Phra Doi Saket in Chiang Mai.
This year’s retreat marked several significant breakthroughs compared to previous years. Specifically, the duration was extended to three weeks, making it the longest in its history. Each day included up to 8 hours of sitting meditation, consisting of 3 to 4 sessions of 2 hours each. The duration of walking meditation was also increased. To support deeper practice, supplementary exercises such as Huang Hai (seated waist rolls) and mindful movement routines were incorporated between sitting sessions. Additionally, some participants observed noble silence and refrained entirely from all smartphone use throughout the retreat.
These breakthroughs also reflect a growing receptivity among practitioners toward actual Dharma practice, and a steady alignment with the right path of cultivation. May all fellow practitioners advance on the Dharma path, be filled with Dharma joy, and ultimately achieve the true benefit of both self and others. We dedicate the collective merit of this retreat to world peace, the long life of all great masters, and the ever-thriving presence of the Dharma across the world.

禅修营恰逢上座部佛教的雨安居圆满之际，僧侣们庄严地从山上列队而下。
The retreat coincided with the end of the Vassa (Rains Retreat) in the Theravāda tradition—monks descend from the mountains in solemn procession.
