The retreat will be held at Sunim's hermitage called Worldzen Burin Jeongsa near Daegu City, South Korea. Burin means Buddha's Mind Seal, Jeongsa means hermitage. From Incheon Airport, take a limousine bus to Daegu city. It takes about four and a half hours and costs $28. Sunim will drive participants to other temples for sightseeing and practice. Meditation begins at 3 AM and ends at 9 PM each day. To arrange your trip, contact Sunim at zengate1@yahoo.com. Choose the dates you'd like to attend and ask Sunim if your dates conflict with the retreat's travel dates.
