Mahayana, Seven-Point Mind Training on Compassion
Date: 22nd to 28th June 2026
Location: Origins Centre and Coorain, Balingup, Western Australia.
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.
The retreat focuses on the union of mindfulness and meditative practice through the “Puja to Chenrezi” text by Tig-Le House. The text is a collection of traditional prayers, translations, principles and teachings, providing a rich source of inspiration and guidance. Each participant receives a copy of the text.
Practice builds sequentially into a complete meditative practice. Attending involves an ongoing commitment to all sessions, willing participation, open dialogue, and dedication to personal practice following a line of inquiry and instruction. Seven-Point Mind Training is both challenging and rewarding.
The training and associated meditations are grounded in an understanding of the Theravada Dhamma teachings and the application of mindfulness. Knowledge of mindfulness is required to attend this retreat.
This retreat offers a balance of group sessions, Dhamma talks, Puja practice, mindfulness and meditative instruction and practice, along with personal time for rest and respite.
