Weekend Meditation Retreat
Fri 7 May - Sun 9 May
This weekend meditation retreat gives us the opportunity to get away from the busyness of our daily lives and deepen our experience of meditation. A retreat gives us the time and space away from our usual activities to gain a deeper and more stable experience of our spiritual practice.
This retreat will focus on The Five Forces which are the method to gain experience from all our meditations. In the book Universal Compassion, Geshe Kelsang explains these with respect to the meditation on learning to cherish others. Keeping such a good heart will result only in happiness for ourselves and all those around us.
The meditations will be guided and the retreat is open and suitable for everyone, regardless of experience. Each meditation session will begin with short prayers, then there will be a talk followed by the guided meditation. The retreat begins 7.30pm Friday evening and end Sunday lunchtime.
Madhyamaka Kadampa Buddhist Centre
The retreat is being hosted by Madhymaka Buddhist Centre near York. The centre provides the perfect location to relax and refresh ourselves, with over 40 acres of grounds and the World Peace café to enjoy.
