Lamrim Retreat
3rd - 17th January 2007
Lamrim is a special presentation of the stages of
the path to enlightenment.
Geshe-la says in Joyful
Path of Good Fortune
“The practice of Lamrim is very important because everyone needs to
cultivate peaceful states of mind. By listening to or reading these
teachings we can learn how to control our mind and always keep a
good motivation in our heart. This will make all our daily actions
pure and meaningful. By controlling our mind we can solve all our
daily problems, and by gradually improving our daily practice of
Lamrim we can advance from our present stage to the stage of a
Bodhisattva. By progressing further we can become a fully
enlightened being. This is the essential meaning of our human life.
Such a great attainment will be the result of our practice of
Lamrim.”
During this retreat we will engage in the
twenty-one Lamrim meditations in the New Meditation Handbook,
thereby gaining familiarity with every stage of the path to
enlightenment.
Each session will consist
of preparatory prayers, study time and meditation. Extensive
commentaries to the Lamrim meditations can be found in Joyful Path
of Good Fortune.
Session times: 7.30am,
11am, 4pm, 7.30pm
Session times may change due to classes and
Puja’s so please check your January calendar.
All sessions are free of
charge -
donations are very
welcome.
You do not need to have
received an empowerment to attend this retreat and you can come to
as many sessions as you like.
