Refuge Retreat: The Three Jewels of Protection | Saturday 7 December | 10am-4.45pm | Morden

FREE for Silver, Gold and Platinum Members

This retreat provides a special opportunity to explore and deepen our mind of refuge, which is our actual protection from pain and problems.

Our actual refuge is the medicine of Buddha’s teachings, which prevents the sufferings of our body and mind. Buddha is the doctor who provides us with this medicine and encourages us to take it, and the Sangha are our pure spiritual friends who assist us in our practice. These are the three jewels of refuge, to which we turn for both temporary and ultimate protection.

Through practicing refuge, we gain confidence and strength to make authentic spiritual progress. Through this we build stable peace, joy and freedom within our own heart that we can then share with others.

This is an in-depth retreat, but everyone is welcome to attend any of the sessions.

Session 1, 10am – 11.45am

Session 2, 12:15pm – 1.45pm

Session 3, 3pm – 4.45pm

Optional Wishfulfilling Jewel Prayers with Tsog, 5pm – 6pm
