Easter Calm Abiding Retreat
Friday 2 – Monday 5 April 2010
This live-in retreat from 2-5 April 2010 comprises six daily
sessions of guided meditation and teaching and is suitable for both
new and experienced meditators. The retreat will combine meditation and instructions on the development of calm abiding, based on development of pure concentration, and the supreme mind of enlightenment or ‘bodhichitta’. Bodhichitta, based on the development of great love and great compassion, creates perfect motivation for our practice.
Sessions are held in a the sacred hall of a magnificent traditional Tibetan temple which features a glorious 18 foot statue of Shakyamuni Buddha and colourful Tibetan paintings known as thangkas. In between sessions there will be delicious fresh, wholesome food, as well as plenty of treats, and time to wander and relax in the magnificent ten acre gardens.
