Looking for a unique New Year experience? Join us on our three day silent retreat and see in the new year in the spirit of reflection, contemplation and meditation.
Be guided through the Buddhist Path in this guided immersive silent retreat. The retreat will be guided by Gen Chitta and Ian McGlade and each session will include chanted prayers, talks, readings and guided meditations.
The retreat will follow the Lamrim, a special set of instructions that includes all the essential teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni. It was compiled by the great Indian Buddhist Master Atisha, who was invited to Tibet by King Jangchub Ö in AD 1042, and who spent the rest of his life there spreading pure Dharma.
