Concessions available
Lamrim means stages of the path to enlightenment. It is a powerful series of contemplative meditations that reveal hidden spiritual truths that deepen our love, compassion and wisdom. Based on the special presentation in the book Mirror of Dharma, this retreat will offer a wonderful opportunity to get an overall understanding of all the stages of the path to enlightenment, from encouraging us to practise Dharma now by meditating on our precious human life and the uncertainty of the time of our death, to an understanding of karma, to a wish to be permanently free from all suffering, to a series of meditations that help us develop universal love and compassion and finally to an understanding of the dream-like nature of reality, ultimate truth, emptiness.
This retreat can be attended in part or in full.
