Closed doors are divided into regular closed doors and convenient closed doors. A formal retreat is a real retreat, or a generalized retreat; Convenient retreat is not a real retreat, but a narrow retreat.

Judging from the time of the retreat, the formal retreat was designed for real monks. It not only requires monks not to be polluted by all the drama of nirvana of life and death, but also to complete the certification system according to the practice of the times.

In other words, the formal closure solves the problem of how the family can achieve the highest achievement, solve the problem of life and death, and break through the threshold of life and death. Therefore, its closed time must be long-term, from several years to decades or even a lifetime.

However, convenient closing is different. It is designed for amateurs or beginners at home, or people who are busy with their work and daily work. The closing time can be as short as several months or days. For example, winter and summer vacations or other holidays can be used to close the door.

Since I entered the Ming Dynasty, I have closed the door to learning Taoism.

To collect evidence and concentrate on practicing a certain Buddhism. If the environment permits, it can last for one year, three years, or even six years, nine years or decades.

But not necessarily alone.

For example, in the era of Sakyamuni, people settled in summer, and in the winter and summer of China Zen Forest, many people gathered to practice.

The confessions and rituals arranged by the ancestors of Tiantai Sect were all assembled by six, seven or dozens of people.
