Description
In this retreat we will engage in a series of meditations that help us to gain practical experience of the Buddhist spiritual path of Sutra and Tantra. The retreat will be based on the prayer Request to the Lord of All Lineages by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. This prayer reveals all the essential practices that are needed to make progress along the spiritual path that leads to the supreme inner peace of enlightenment. Each session consists of a short practical teaching, prayer and guided meditation.
