Vajrasattva Retreat

We dedicate most of our time and energy trying to avoid problems by making changes to the external world. However, the main cause of our unhappiness and difficulties cannot be found in external conditions. It is the negative karma we have created in the past through performing harmful actions. By relying upon Vajrasattva, the Buddha of purification we will cleanse our mind of delusions, negativity and obstacles. Through special meditation and mantra recitation we have the great opportunity to purify our mind quickly, so that we can make swift progress on the spiritual path.

There will be three sessions over the day.

THE RETREAT

During a retreat we reduce our normal worldly activities and concentrate for a period of time on developing spiritual qualities and peaceful minds.

Each session lasts for one and a half hours and consists of prayers sung in English and silent mandala offerings. Sessions are free. Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the scheduled session to familiarize yourself with the practice. Please bring your mandala kit if you have one.
