Find beauty and fullness in each moment, learn to let go of the shadows of the past and the worries of the future.

•Inner Strength, Overcoming Anger

Create a reservoir of patience that will enable you to master life’s challenges, making effective decisions while maintaining a peaceful mind.

A day retreat is an ideal opportunity to gain a deep understanding of Buddha’s teachings and have a special experience of inner peace.

“The mind that cherishes others is the supreme good heart. Keeping such a good heart will result only in happiness for ourselves and all those around us” Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.

Each day can be attended separately. If you wish to attend both days of the Retreat, there will be a £10 discount. A packed lunch, refreshments & parking is included in the cost.

Supreme Unchanging Friend – Blessing Empowerment of Buddha Shakyamuni

Sunday 22 March 10am – 4.30pm

In-person

In this special Empowerment Gen Kelsang Paljin will guide us to the correct view and intention on how to follow our Spiritual Guide purely and sincerely.

Our faith in our spiritual Guide and his or her Dharma teachings is the root of our spiritual path; because this is so important for our life, such a deep root of faith cannot be planted hastily. Therefore, we need to carefully follow the scientific methods taught by Buddha that enable us to make the best use of our relationship with our Spiritual Guide. With deep faith and confidence we will then quickly make progress on our journey to the permanent inner peace of liberation and full enlightenment.

An Empowerment gives us a special opportunity to make a connection with enlightened beings and their good qualities. By receiving the Empowerment of Buddha Shakyamuni we will receive his profound blessings.

Please join us on this special day. 🤍🙏
