Heart Kyol Che:
The resident community will do intensive practice during the month of October. We invite our sangha to intensify home practice by committing to "Heart Kyol Che" during October - with sangha members from all around the world doing additional daily practice while other sangha members practice in person at FMZC.
"Kyol Che" in Korean means "tight dharma" or "coming together" and was traditionally held for 90 days. As this isn't possible for most of us "Heart Kyol Che" is a wonderful opportunity to still support those who do the in-person retreat and be supported by them as well. It's a way for all of us to practice together as a global sangha, for the benefit of all beings.
