Christmas Course - The Gift of Peace and Relaxation

Dec 24 - 28, 2024

Manjushri KMC - ROBI7358

'If our mind is peaceful, we will be happy all the time, regardless of external conditions, but if it is disturbed or troubled in any way, we will never be happy, no matter how good our external conditions may be.' Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche  How to Transform Your Life

If our mind becomes peaceful then a peaceful world will appear to us, and with peaceful thoughts comes both mental and physical relaxation. If we practise meditating on Buddha’s instructions we can find not only a temporary peaceful mind, but eventually give ourself the gift of a permanent
experience of peace. This is the most meaningful gift for ourself, and for all those we care about.

During this Christmas Course in the beautiful relaxing environment of the Temple for World Peace and grounds, you will receive teachings on love, compassion and wisdom, and be guided in meditations that help you to find your own inner peace. You will also be shown how to use these instructions to deal with difficult situations and still retain a peaceful mind. You will come to realize that by following Buddha's teachings you can gradually become your best self – having the wisdom and spiritual energy to benefit others

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.
