Guided by Kadam Michelle.

Give your meditation practice a boost and join us for any and all retreat sessions focused on the essential meditations taught in the Lamrim practice. The stages of the path to enlightenment, or ‘Lamrim’ in Tibetan, is the backbone of Kadampa Buddhism. Lamrim is a special set of instructions that includes all the essential teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni arranged in such a way that all his teachings can be put into practice in a single meditation session. The Lamrim takes us step-by-step through carefully crafted meditations so we can purposefully nourish the qualities in our mind that lead to our happiness and reduce our painful thoughts and feelings. For example, some of the meditations help us enhance our self-confidence, empathy, or contentment. Others aid us in overcoming distractions, anger, or depression. Overall, by practicing these 21 meditations in conjunction with one another we will notice our mind becoming healthier, stronger, and finally more enlightened. Sessions will include a short teaching, Prayers for Meditation and silent time to meditate on a particular Lamrim meditation object from ‘The New Meditation Handbook’ by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. Everyone is welcome to attend. You can join for a single session, one day or the entire retreat!
