Event Category: Retreat

A dedicated practice exploring core Buddhist teachings on the stage-by-stage training technique attributed to Atisha, including histories and Lineage pathways, preliminary contemplations, Bodhicitta, Metta, Tonglen, Vajrasattva healing transformation, and more. These teachings foster the union of mindfulness and meditation, supporting the cultivation of the heart for awakening (Bodhicitta) into the wisdom of cultivated compassionate ways of being in the world.

Cultivating an open, friendly, and benevolent attitude toward oneself, all beings, life and the world. Through graduated practice, our natural Metta state is cultivated and matures, nurtured by heartfelt feelings of understanding, warmth, and goodwill for our own and others’ experiences and the realities of life. Metta is a warm, strong heart, a deepened sense of love and kindness, a reclaiming of our loving bond and kinship with the broader web of life. Truly, Metta is falling in love with all this world and the Refuge that grows deep within because of this love.

Vajrayāna, the Tibetan Buddhist Tantric vehicle, is a body of teachings and practices that weaves a tapestry of our love for the sacred and the dance of minds into compassionate activity—embedding it into the living memory of our humanity through visualisation, symbolism, ceremony, story, and histories. Retreatants will receive teachings on the Vajrayāna vehicle, along with guidance on preparation, setup, and participation in the Wongkur (ceremonial empowerment).
