Open to everyone, this retreat is the perfect introduction to ‘Lamrim’, the stages that comprise the entire Buddhist path to enlightenment; And the ideal foundation for those beginning or reviving a daily meditation practice.
‘Lamrim’ (stages of the path) is a special presentation of Buddha’s teachings, where all the essential practices are arranged in an easy to practice progression so that, through daily meditation, we can gradually increase the capacity of our mind leading to lasting inner peace and happiness.
In each session we will receive step-by-step guidance and expert insights from meditation teacher Kadam Tim on these Lamrim meditations, all based on “The Mirror of Dharma (with Additions)” by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche.
The retreat sessions are accompanied by Buddhist prayers – a traditional method to receive blessings and inspiration for meditation. All sessions are guided and are suitable for all levels of experience. And each session will be about an hour long.
This retreat is your chance to build an excellent foundation for your successful meditation practice for the year ahead.
About this retreat
Everyone is welcome to join. No previous experience of meditation is needed, nor is any special clothing required. Most people sit on chairs, though meditation cushions are provided for those that wish to use them.
The retreat will be presented in easy-to-understand English and will be attended by people with a wide variety of backgrounds and cultures.
We engage in verbal retreat when, with a spiritual motivation, we refrain from meaningless talk and periodically keep silent. So please consider if you would like to keep silent the first half of each day or the whole retreat.
