DAY RETREAT

A pure mind sees a pure world. An impure mind sees an impure world.

What if the problems we experience don’t exist in the fixed, solid way they appear? In this inspiring and practical course, you will learn how to see yourself, others, and the world in a completely new way through the liberating wisdom of emptiness.

Based on the teachings of renowned meditation master Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, this course will explore how understanding the nature of reality can free us from all suffering and mental pain. Through understanding that our self is not as fixed as we think, we unleash huge potential for inner and outer transformation.

Suitable for beginners and experienced meditators alike, come along to discover through teachings and guided meditations how a change in perspective can change everything.

Retreat Experience

II was able to do a one-month retreat in January, and it has been the most significant experience of my life. I found within my own heart a light, a peace that permeated everything. Every moment became a magical experience, where the divine and the extraordinary made everything feel out of this world. I truly hope everyone has the opportunity to experience the same and is inspired to do a retreat in this special place.

DAY RETREAT

Time goes so quickly!
In our busy lives how can we make the most of our time, in a meaningful way, that benefits both ourselves and those around us?

This day retreat offers a chance to step back and discover how spiritual practice can become part of everything we do. Through guided meditation and practical insights, we’ll explore how to develop a calm, positive outlook that stays with us—whether we’re at work, relaxing at home, or spending time with our friends.

Rather than feeling a divide between meditation and daily activities, we’ll begin to see how each supports the other. Our meditation nourishes our daily life, and our daily life becomes the path to deeper inner peace and lasting happiness. In this way, every moment becomes meaningful and beneficial—for ourselves and for others.

ROBI2050

DAY RETREAT

This Day Retreat is an opportunity to begin letting go of the burdens we carry from the past. Although we think that our past may have shaped us, it does not define who we truly are. Each of us has the inner capacity and potential to change and move forward.

Through guided meditations and practical teachings, we’ll learn how to accept our experiences without being held back by them, and how to move forward with a lighter heart and clearer mind. By letting go of old patterns and regrets, we open the door to a more joyful, meaningful life, one that we create moment by moment.

Meditation offers a powerful way to heal from within. As we gain experience, we begin to create a sense of inner calm and relaxation. Life's difficulties may still arise, but we start to face them with more ease and understanding, and over time, our good qualities improve.

Retreat Experience

II was able to do a one-month retreat in January, and it has been the most significant experience of my life. I found within my own heart a light, a peace that permeated everything. Every moment became a magical experience, where the divine and the extraordinary made everything feel out of this world. I truly hope everyone has the opportunity to experience the same and is inspired to do a retreat in this special place.

Offering our Faith

Day Retreat

Apr 5, 2025

NKTB2323

The first Saturday in April is set aside to commemorate the founding of NKT–IKBU by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche in 1991.

The occasion is marked by special events and by pujas and dedications at Kadampa centres worldwide. Prayers are made for the flourishing of Kadam Dharma throughout the world so that all living beings might quickly find permanent inner peace.

Above all, we remember the extraordinary kindness of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso in founding NKT–IKBU. At Manjushri KMC we will be engaging in a special day retreat reciting Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso’s name mantra and then Wishfulfilling Jewel with Tsog in the evening of NKT Day.
