In this afternoon meditation retreat with Buddhist nun Gen Chitta we will explore special Buddhist contemplations and Meditations that help us let go of relating to ourself in negative, unhealthy and self destructive ways. We can learn to loosen, and finally abandon, grasping at an ordinary limited or exaggerated Ego, that leads to feeling self conscious and anxious, and instead feel and sense of burgeoning inner freedom and confidence.
Gen Kelsang Chitta, having studied Buddhism since 2002 and ordained as a Buddhist nun in 2009, shares the meditation techniques and practices she herself has found so transformative, in a down to earth, humorous and accessible way.
With over a decade of teaching experience and the benefit of continuous study and teacher training, you are in safe hands to help you begin, reinvigorate or continue your meditation journey.
A dedicated student of Buddhist master Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, Gen Chitta holds the blessed lineage of Atisha and Je Tsongkhapa and can bring the inspiration and practices of this lineage into our busy, modern and often challenging lives and minds.
Everyone is welcome, beginners and experienced meditators alike. No special clothes are required and seating is provided in chairs and meditation cushions. There is free on-street parking on the street just outside, we are just minutes from the Westlink Divis St/ Millfield exit, and we are just 15 min walk from City Hall and Belfast Grand Central Station.
