Guided Purification Retreat

About the retreat

We dedicate most of our time and energy trying to avoid problems by making changes to the external world. However, the main cause of our unhappiness and difficulties cannot be found in external conditions. It is the negative karma we have created in the past through performing harmful actions. By relying upon Vajrasattva, the Buddha of purification we will cleanse our mind of delusions, negativity and obstacles. Through special meditation and mantra recitation we have the great opportunity to purify our mind quickly, so that we can make swift progress on the spiritual path.
 
This guided retreat day provides an opportunity to learn and gain deep experience of this important spiritual practice.
 
To get the most from this retreat we highly recommend attending the Friday Night Class on December 13th entitled How to Purify Negative Karma in which the ‘four opponent powers’ of purification will be explained. For more information on the Friday Night Class Click Here
 

Cost
