Welcome to the Palyul Ling International Summer Retreat.
This manual is to help you and your fellow retreatants get the most out of your time here at the Palyul Retreat Center.
A one-month retreat requires a commitment. We want to take as much advantage of this opportunity as possible.
Together we can make this month an experience of a lifetime, benefiting ourselves and others forever.
