Monthly Meditation Retreats
Every month Triple Crane Retreat Center offers multiple formats to help you deepen into your personal Yoga and Meditation practice. Guided by highly experienced teachers, Triple Crane shares a unique method of Yoga & Meditation created to support you in every step of your spiritual practice.
Through out a retreat at a TCRC you will experience Yoga Poses, Walking Meditation and Gong Fa integrated to deepen your Meditation experience. Gong Fa is similar to Tai Chi or Chi Gong but unique to Triple Crane's methods to cultivate deep and profound states of Meditation.

Kitchen Renovation Fundraising
Every little donation helps!
Every little donation helps!
After almost three years of isolation in Pandemic, Triple Crane Retreat Center is finally open to public, new and old friends. Events are lined up nicely each month and the center utilization is higher than ever. We hope that everyone will have the opportunity to continue returning to our tranquil center again and again to practice diligently.
You may have noticed that the kitchen, also known as Wuguan Hall, has been outdated and not been repaired for many years. There are many spots that hinder the use. We invited the local government to inspect the kitchen and were told that the existing kitchen did not meet the safety standards of public use. Triple Crane Retreat Center was instructed to be renovated now that Triple Crane Retreat Center is opening to more friends from all spiritual practices.
We have asked professional architects and contractors to design the new kitchen and estimate the costs. According to last year’s evaluation, the estimated renovation cost was $200,000. However, it would even be much higher now asthe current logistics, materials, and manpower are scarce and more expensive.
This cost to renovate is hefty, and Triple Crane Retreat Center cannot afford it. But in order to better provide friends with a clean and safe dining and gathering place, our center is launching the fundraising campaign to pay for the kitchen renovation costs. It is believed that with the joint efforts of all our friends and supporters, Triple Crane Retreat Center will overcome the difficulties and present a brand-new kitchen for all. We humbly seek generous donations and supports in any way. It is also a great opportunity to accumulate merits for you and your loved ones. On behalf of Triple Crane Retreat Center, we thank you in advance for your kind consideration. We pray for all auspicious to arise for you and your family.
Triple Crane Retreat Center is registered as a non-profit, 501c(3) charitable organization. All donations are tax deductible.
