Meditation Weekends and Retreats
Adopting the Heart of Compassion
26 February - 04 March 2012
During this year's Spring retreat, we'll get the chance to examine how we can truly take on the enlightened mind (bodhicitta), or rather, the decision to compassionately strive for the good of all sentient beings. In addition, the teachings will also focus on the development of diligence, which makes it possible for us to truly apply the lessons to our lives so that our spiritual aspirations become concrete, rather than a vague fantasy.
