💙Tomorrow - Special Workshop on the practice of the 35 Confession Buddhas🙏🏻

In this day retreat, Kadampa Teacher Chammy Sirisena will share teachings on a powerful practice for purifying obstacles of body, speech and mind.

We will learn how to visualise the Thirty-five Confession Buddhas, and what each one helps us to purify. We will also learn about special mental intentions to cultivate throughout the practice to purify our past negative actions and help us develop strong mindfulness in our daily life that we can use to work to counteract bad habits of body, speech and mind.

In the final session, there is the opportunity to be guided through the actual practice, including guidance on how to engage in physical prostration (if you wish to). In this way, we will apply what we have learned and leave with confidence in our ability to do the practice ourselves.

No experience is necessary; everybody is welcome. 💎

If you have been wondering where our Resident Teacher Gen Kelsang Tubchen is at the moment, she is at Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre in the Lake District, participating in the International Teacher Training Program (ITTP).

ITTP happens most years, and it's an opportunity for Resident Teachers to solely focus on their studies for a short time under the kind guidance of the Senior Teachers of the New Kadampa Tradition. This enables them to deepen their experience of Buddha's teachings then come back and share that experience with us. This is only possible through the kindness of our Founder and Spiritual Guide, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche. ❤️
