每年冬天，万佛圣城都要“打禅七”。这些长达数周的禅七，每次坐香一小时，接着行香二十分钟，从凌晨三时到午夜十二时，只在傍晚休息一个钟头。在上人耐心地指导下，弟子们慢慢学会了打坐的入门技巧。一到冬天，所有的事情都停了，大家放下工作，全心参加这难得的禅七。

Every year at the City a Chan Session was held. Sessions were several weeks long, running from 3:00 a.m. until 12:00 midnight with hour-long sits broken by twenty-minute walks. A one hour rest period was allowed in the late afternoon. Under the Master’s patient guidance, his disciples gradually learned the beginning techniques of meditation. Everyone dropped his/her duties to participate fully in these rare sessions. Things came to a standstill in mid-winter as everyone investigated Chan together.
