About Event:

As the Dalai Lama says, the view of karma is one of “self-creation.” We are, literally, the creators of our lives, our happiness, and our suffering. We are the boss! With this view we realize that everything we experience is our own “karmic appearance”, as Lama Zopa Rinpoche puts it. Everything is made by our own minds, in the past and in the present. And because of this there is no karma that we can’t change.

In this retreat, we reflect on the teachings and instruction from All About Karma module of the Discovering Buddhism programme. It also continues the exploration of the lam-rim, the graduated path to enlightenment, and provides an opportunity to meditate on some of the key points. The retreat provides a chance to ask questions about the teachings and participate in group discussions. It is an excellent opportunity to clear away any doubts you may have, or for those studying at home or online to enjoy group practice and meditation. Everyone is welcome to attend this retreat weekend, even if you haven‘t attended the previous modules.
