On this retreat we engage in the profound practice of mandala offering in order to create lots of good karma. We also meditate on Guru Yoga to receive the blessings of our Spiritual Guide. Through this we create very powerful causes for success in all our spiritual practices.
Lamrim Retreat
Lamrim means ' the stages of the path to enlightenment ' and is the condensation of all Buddha's Teachings. Meditating on Lamrim is the supreme way to solve our daily problems and find lasting happiness through positive thinking. This is the perfect retreat for beginners and advanced meditators alike.

Buddha Amitayus is the Buddha of long life, merit and wisdom. On this retreat we spend 2 days reciting the mantra of Buddha Amitayus for the long life of our Spiritual Guide - Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. This naturally creates the karma for ourselves also to enjoy a long life.
