Summer Fo Qi 2026 — Amitabha Recitation Week in San Jose
Details
In the heart of Silicon Valley, the mind rarely gets a break. Fo Qi is that break.
Join us for our annual Summer Fo Qi — a seven-day intensive practice period centered on reciting Amitabha Buddha's name. A week designed not to add more to your plate, but to help you find stillness beneath it all. Come for an evening, a morning, or the whole week — every session is complete in itself.
Practitioners find that even a few hours of sincere recitation brings a clarity and lightness that's hard to find anywhere else. No prior experience required.
You are welcome to join for any session — no need to attend the full week.
