About This Event
Inspiring Solutions for Difficult Times: Transforming Adversity Into the Spiritual Path
January Retreats Week 3
Friday to Monday, January 19-22
Held at Kadampa Meditation Center Florida, 730 N Washington Blvd, Sarasota, FL 34236
In these spiritually degenerate times we encounter many obstacles to our spiritual practice but rather than being discouraged by them we can learn to transform them into the spiritual path by practicing training the mind or Lojong.
Children get very excited when they make sandcastles, but when the sea washes them away they become upset. Buddha said that we are like children in this respect because we are happy when things are going well, but become miserable and depressed as soon as we encounter difficulties.
By training in Lojong we transform daily challenges into the spiritual path, and develop the ability to maintain a peaceful mind and good heart at all times. Living skillfully and creatively in this way makes our whole life meaningful.
Please feel very welcome to join us for any or all of this retreat. Drop ins are welcome!
