Stop Worrying, Start Living Retreat
Guided Retreat
Livestreamed Online from Buddha Land Centre
Sat-Sun 23-24 January, 9.30am – 3.30pm
(available for 48 hours after on catch up)
Explore how to cultivate an authentic experience of warmth towards others through meditation. By increasing qualities such as patience and a belief in others’ potentials we can solve many of our daily problems and maintain a happy peaceful mind all the time.
Many of our unpeaceful minds relate to those around us. In these retreats we will explore meditations for developing a peaceful mind and a warm feeling towards those we meet.
At present, our experience of warmth towards others is very limited and is often conditional. As a result many of our relationships with other people also serve as a source of much pain, anxiety and frustration. However, through training systematically in these timeless methods we can make all our encounters with others more satisfying and meaningful.
“It is said that there exists a magic crystal that has the power to purify any liquid it is placed in. Those who cherish others are like this crystal – by their very presence they remove negativity from the world and give back love and kindness.” – Geshe Kelang Gyatso
Two days of retreat that can be attended together or individually. Each day includes four guided sessions to improve our experience and mindfulness of meditations that lead to lasting peace of mind. £18 per day or £28 for both (Monthly Members £5 per day).
