Description
This retreat provides an opportunity to contemplate and meditate on “The Three Principal Aspects of the Path to Enlightenment” by the great Buddhist master Je Tsongkhapa (AD 1357-1419). This ancient text is a profound guide to meditation on the essential stages of the path to enlightenment, known as ‘Lamrim’ in Tibetan. If we sincerely meditate according to Je Tsongkhapa’s instructions, we will develop a pure and happy mind and gradually progress towards the ultimate peace of full enlightenment.
