A Journey to Inner Peace

Friday 8 January to Friday 15 January with BKMC Resident Teacher Gen Kelsang Jigme

A one-week, guided meditation retreat on the Lamrim, the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment. We all aspire towards lasting happiness and a meaningful life. This special, guided retreat will introduce profound meditations that we can use to generate peace and happiness from within, and which function to make our human life meaningful as we work towards realising our true potential.

Lamrim meditations help us to solve the problems of daily life and maintain a calm and happy mind all the time. Eventually we can attain permanent freedom from the inner causes of all worry and problems and help others to do the same. Lamrim is the very essence of Buddha’s teachings and is very practical – ideally suited to modern life.

On this retreat, Gen Kelsang Jigme will skilfully guide us through this profound series of meditations, harnessing Buddha’s ancient wisdom for practical application in our modern lives.

Everyone is welcome.
