Retreat Dates & Times
Guru Yoga Mandala Offering
The practice of offering mandalas is one of the best ways to accumulate this merit and has been used by Buddhists for generations.
When offering a mandala we imagine we hold a pure universe in our hands which we offer to all the Buddhas while making a compassionate prayer that all beings enjoy such pure lands.
Mon 5 June – Wed 7 June 8.00am – 8.30pm: Guru Yoga Mandala Offering Retreat.
Please note the last session on Monday Evening will not go ahead if a Monday night drop-in class is scheduled.
Vajrasattva Retreat
A scientific method to purify our mind and to transform our mind from impure to pure using Tantric technology.
Sun 24 September 8.00am – 8.30pm: Vajrasattva Day Retreat.
Refuge Retreat
The foundation of the Buddhist way of life is to go for refuge – to Buddha, to guide us along the spiritual path to enlightenment; to Dharma (Buddha’s teachings) to protect us from fear and suffering; and to Sangha (those practising Buddha’s teachings) to inspire us, show a good example and to help us along the path to inner peace.
Sun 22 Oct – Tuesday 24 Oct 8.00am – 8.30pm: Refuge Retreat.
Please note the last session on Monday Evening will not go ahead if a Monday night drop-in class is scheduled.
