Inner Fire Retreat
Guided Retreat
Livestreamed Online from Buddha Land Centre
Fri 20 August, 9.30am -Mon 23 Aug 5.45pm
(available for 48 hours after on catch up)
This four-day retreat is based on the teachings on Inner Fire or Tummo in the Tantric meditation manual ‘Clear Light of Bliss’. In this book, Geshe Kelsang Gyatso reveals the profound practices of the ancient Yogis and makes their blissful experience accessible to the modern world.
Within all of us lies a source of infinite bliss, clarity of wisdom and compassion for others. To discover this inner wealth for ourselves, we need authentic teachings, guidance and meditation.
Gen Kelsang Päljin will explain step by step how we can generate a deeply peaceful and concentrated mind by harnessing the subtle energy system within our body. With this blissful awareness we can uncover our true nature, destroy ignorance and suffering at its root and swiftly become a source of inspiration and benefit for others.
This retreat is a truly unique and rare opportunity to listen to, contemplate and meditate on the stages of inner fire so that we can gain familiarity and confidence with each stage. We will come to deeply appreciate the power of this practice to lead us to our ultimate goal.
Each session will include preparatory prayers, teachings and guided meditations and there will be opportunities throughout the retreat to discuss and ask questions.
This four-day retreat is livestream only.
The cost of the retreat is £40 (Centre Membership Scheme £12, free for Foundation Members). Please book below by choosing between attending by livestream or in person in the relevant dropdown box.

The Retreat will be led by Gen Kelsang Päljin, the Resident Teacher of Buddha Land Buddhist Centre, Keighley, and also of Burnley Kadampa Buddhist Centre. He is a Buddhist monk with over 20 years’ experience of practising and teaching Kadampa Buddhism.
