Everyday Enlightenment: Lamrim Retreat

Everyday Enlightenment: Lamrim Retreat

Meditations of the Path to Enlightenment

August 25th - September 1st

Guided Retreat with Kadam Trina

Leading into Labor Day Weekend, join us for this contemplative meditation retreat, which gives us the opportunity to reflect on our life’s direction from the point of view of Buddhist wisdom, in order to bring about deep spiritual transformation. Kadam Trina will guide this 7 day retreat on the meditations of the path to enlightenment called Lamrim.

 

These transformative meditations are a special presentation of Buddha’s teachings known as Lamrim, that are easily integrated into modern daily life. By engaging in these meditations systematically we build a strong foundation of inner peace within our busy and often stressful lives. Kadam Trina will offer guidance on how to use Lamrim for an effective daily meditation practice using The New Meditation Handbook.

The New Meditation Handbook is available at Kadampa Meditation Center Washington and at Tharpa.com

All sessions are guided and are suitable for all levels of experience. Attend either a portion or the entirety of the retreat-you can attend single sessions, single days, a long weekend or the whole retreat. Overnight accommodations are available for the Entire Retreat and Labor Day Weekend Retreat only. Rooms are limited, please register early.

Livestreaming available for Supporter Level members, Foundation Program and Teacher Training Program Students.

Everybody is welcome!
