Refuge Retreat
Retreat
Mon 6 July | Tue 7 July
We are always looking to find protection from difficulties, pain and problems, but unfortunately nothing within our ordinary world can permanently help us in this way.
Through turning to Buddha, his teachings, and the spiritual friends who help and encourage us on our path we can find real protection from suffering and pain. We will then have the confidence and strength to make progress on our spiritual path, and to develop the inner tools of peace, love and wisdom that enable us to truly benefit others.
On this gentle two-day retreat, Santu Chatterjee will guide us in developing and strengthening our mind of refuge, and lead us through prayers and recitation of the refuge prayer, which will make up the main body of the retreat
This is an in-depth retreat, but everyone is welcome to attend. Some previous experience may be helpful
The retreat will be in conjunction with Prayers for Meditation
