A gentle weekend retreat to keep your heart warm with compassion & loving-kindness.
Using traditional Tibetan Buddhist methods, Ven Khadro will lead you into this winter retreat, with guided meditations and teachings on:
- Chenrezig, the Buddha of Compassion, this practice will use visualisation & the recitation of the famous Om Mani Padme Hum mantra.
- Bodhichitta, the altruistic compassionate mind of enlightenment.
This retreat is ideal for those who would like to open their hearts wider, develop a calm mind, replenish in nature and meet like-minded people. It will have a strong focus on being mindful of our motivations and how to transform them into being compassionate and wise.
This retreat is suitable for anyone new to meditation and for those familiar with meditation who want to deepen and enrich their practice.
It will be gadget free, include moments of full silence and vegetarian meals. Within its beautiful and peaceful surroundings, Mahamudra Centre provides special & conducive conditions for practice.
6th of July ~ is His Holiness 14th Dalai Lama’s Birthday ~ that day we will do a special practice to commemorating and celebrate his life, his compassion and service to the world.
