Refuge Retreat
Unguided Retreat
In person @ Buddha Land Centre and livestream
Sun-Mon 17-18 July
(available for 48 hours after on catch up)
If we wish to make authentic spiritual progress, we need to recognise the importance of going for refuge to the three Buddhist Jewels of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha
We go for refuge to many people and things in our lives, but it is only by going for refuge to Buddha (our guide on the spiritual path); Dharma (the body of Buddha’s teachings & our inner realisations of them) & Sangha (our spiritual friends who support our inner journey) that we can truly & permanently protect ourselves from suffering.
In this retreat, Gen Paljin will give guidance on what are the three Buddhist Jewels, how we can appreciate their good qualities and the beneficial effect that will arise from relying upon them in our daily life.
This Retreat is ideal for those wishing to develop their understanding of Buddhist refuge and also for those wishing to deepen their refuge practice.
It provides an unequalled opportunity to receive guidance on this most precious practice.
The retreat will run for 2 days, each day can be attended individually, or you can attend for the full 2 days.
You are very welcome to attend in person – but please book in advance if possible
