Vajrasattva Retreat

Thursday 19 – Saturday 21 December
 
 with Resident Teacher
Gen Kelsang Rak-ma
 
Throughout our countless previous lives, as well as in this present life, we have engaged in actions that harmed others and so have accumulated negative karma which leads to suffering and blocks authentic spiritual progress.
 
By relying upon Buddha Vajrasattva, we can purify our negative karma. In this way we can avoid future suffering and remove obstacles to our spiritual path.
 
Each session will consist of chanted prayers, guided meditations and mantra recitation. No experience necessary.
