Bliss and Wisdom Foundation will be hosting a four days and three nights educational camp at Crowne Plaza Hotel in Fullerton, CA from September 3th - September 6th.
The program focuses on improving personal relationships, bringing awareness to our environment, and establishing a balance between the body and mind regardless of your personal background.
- Day 1: Focuses on the reflection of our current college life.
- Day 2: Pertains to how we can change our hectic, busy lifestyle to make it become a happier and meaningful one.
- Day 3: Focuses on how we can eat healthier, protect and salvage our environment as well as how we can reestablish our own set of personal values and redefine our life's purpose.
- Day 4: As we learn to broaden our horizons, we learn how to apply new perspectives into our daily lives.
Classes and activities are primarily conducted in English & Mandarin. When the classes are conducted in Mandarin, English translations will be provided. The program includes skits, guest speakers, activities/games, movies, music, discussion and sharing, exhibitions, and much, much more!
In the past years, majority of the participants felt reenergized after the camp. They have a better understanding of their pursuits in life and have a clearer direction about their future plans. They’ve learned how to live a more meaningful life and re-prioritized their everyday activities. More importantly, they’ve made many new friends with similar goals! Participants feel a sense of community; everyone opening up themselves to help and care for others (unlike the competitive world we live in). Any individual that has attended the camp will feel a sense of hope and direction in their lives.
We have hosted the Bliss and Wisdom Educational Camp in Taiwan and in the U.S: For over ten years, the Bliss and Wisdom Foundation has annually hosted various large scale retreats in Taiwan with over a thousand attendees and over 9000 applicants. The camps have influenced the lives of numerous university students, globally improving the education sector, and shedding hopeful lights on the business community.

NO, this is not a religious camp; however there will be a Buddhist Reverend present to share his perspectives on the truth of life. We are a Buddhist organization but the purpose of the camp is to focus on improving ourselves and living a better life. There are no religious classes in our program; nor any chanting, prostration, or sutra recitation. In the past, many students with different religious backgrounds have joined our camp and enjoyed it very much. They have also referred friends to take part in this meaningful event. If you are interested in learning Buddhism, we do have other Buddhist classes that you can attend.
