Contemplation and Meditation on the Path

January Retreat 3 – 31 2025
week 1 January 3 – 10 with Gen-la Kelsang Jampa
week 2 – 4 January 10 – 31 with Gen Kelsang Tonglam

Lamrim, the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment, is the condensation of all Buddha’s teachings and the main practice of Kadampa Buddhists. For his fortunate modern Kadampa disciples, Venerable Geshe-la created a very special presentation of the essential Lamrim meditations in his book, The Mirror of Dharma with Additions. In each of the four weeks of this retreat, we will emphasize the cycle of fifteen meditations, from Meditation on the Preciousness of Our Human Life to Meditation on Relying on Our Spiritual Guide.

In particular, to make our meditation effective, we will carefully follow our Spiritual Guide’s special presentation of the purpose, the object and the actual meditation. Through this we will be able to generate or find our object of meditation and thus have the great opportunity to deepen our familiarity with each Lamrim object. Eventually, through gaining realizations of Lamrim, we will be happy all the time because our mind will always be peaceful.

Therefore this retreat provides us with a precious opportunity to improve our own meditation practice and make progress on the stages of the path to enlightenment.
