𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐓𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬: 𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒐 𝑺𝒐𝒍𝒗𝒆 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑯𝒖𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒃𝒍𝒆𝒎𝒔

Using the book How to Solve Our Human Problems by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, we will embark on a scientific exploration of the causes of our daily problems and difficulties, and the solutions to them. In this way we can learn how to use Buddha’s teachings to change our world by changing our mind.

In this powerful book, Venerable Geshe-la begins by presenting Buddha’s popular teaching on the Four Noble Truths, which offers a clear and simple solution to all our problems, guiding us to an oasis of peace within our hearts. He then focuses in particular on overcoming the problem of anger, learning how to develop and maintain patience when faced with even the most difficult circumstances.

Lamrim retreat: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘰 𝘌𝘯𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 💛

This retreat provides a special opportunity to explore and deepen our experience of the Lamrim meditations, the actual stages of the path to enlightenment. By training in the Lamrim we will overcome all mental faults, because each meditation is a perfect opponent to our delusions. Thus, through practicing Lamrim, we gain confidence and strength to make authentic spiritual progress, and build stable peace and joy within our own hearts that we can share with others.

From concentration comes peace: 𝑆𝑖𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑚𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑑𝑎𝑦 𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡 🩵

Withdraw from the city noise, let go of distracting thoughts and settle your mind into peace by discovering the magic of virtuous concentration, Buddha’s non-deceptive method to make happiness naturally manifest within your mind.

This retreat is suitable for everyone, whether you want to start a meditation practice or deepen your experience of concentration.

We become unwilling curators of our mental pains. We give pride of place to new additions, polish old hurts, rearrange them or replace them. But do we ever get to the bottom of them? By discovering the true nature of our feelings and their deep causes, we can experience a new sense of inner peace and freedom. With Buddha’s wisdom we can become our own healer.
