SUMMARY:How to Find the Real Meaning of Your Life
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the entire retreat\, for the weekend\, Saturday only or drop in for a session. Pricing available on the registration page. \nDiscover the beauty of meditating on the basics of Buddhism and lift your mind out of the ordinary. The two main trainings on the path to enlightenment\, compassion and wisdom\, depend upon a solid foundation of basic Buddhist practices. This retreat\, guided by Gen Kelsang Lhadron\, will provide an excellent opportunity to develop this foundation through teachings and meditations on the initial\, intermediate & great scope stages of the path to enlightenment\, or Lamrim. \nIn this retreat\, we will be guided through meditations on the main core of Buddha’s teachings. This will include meditations on death\, rebirth\, refuge\, karma\, & renunciation.

Everyone is welcome to attend any session or the entire retreat.
