Silence begins the moment you step into the forest.

Sunshine Zen Centre sits quietly on the Sunshine Coast, surrounded by trees, ocean air, and open sky.

A place to slow down and breathe.

Weekend and 7-day retreats are now open for registration.

On this Easter weekend,
we are reminded—

Not all rebirth is visible.

In stillness,
something quietly softens.
In awareness,
something gently lets go.

Each breath
is an opportunity
to begin again.

正念、呼吸觀、慈心，有什麼差別？
Mindfulness vs. breath focus vs. loving-kindness?

正念＝全然覺察；呼吸觀＝以呼吸為錨；慈心＝送出善意與祝福。三者可交替練，互相支持。

Mindfulness = open awareness; Breath focus = anchor on breathing; Loving-kindness = sending goodwill. Mix them—they reinforce each other.

A year of returning.
A rhythm of practice.

We are opening our 2026 retreat journey —
guided by Venerable Hui Chyuan and Venerable Fo-Xing.

From spring to winter,
each retreat offers a different doorway
into stillness, clarity, and presence.

You don’t need to attend everything.
Just begin where you feel called.

🌱 Weekend retreats for gentle entry
🌱 7-day immersions for deeper practice

Come as you are.
Return to what has always been here.

一天要做多久才有效？
How long should I practice each day?

貴在穩定。從 5–10 分鐘開始，逐步到 15–20 分鐘；一週 5 天比偶爾一次 60 分鐘更有用。

Consistency beats intensity. Start 5–10 min, grow to 15–20. Five days a week > one random 60-minute sit.

Your question might be the same one others are quietly holding.
Send us a message—let’s explore together.

Morning light does not hurry.
Breath does not rush.

In sitting, we do not try to become calm.
We simply notice what is already here.
