Great Mother Retreat

May 3 @ 3:00 pm - May 4 @ 4:30 pm

$25

 

The function of the Great Mother Prajnaparamita is to destroy maras – living beings’ obstacles to spiritual realizations. “If we are to attain temporary happiness while we remain in samsara, and if we are to progress unimpeded towards the ultimate happiness of liberation and enlightenment, we need a special method for averting and overcoming hindrances in general, and the four maras in particular.” – from New Heart of Wisdom by Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche

This short guided meditation retreat is suitable for everyone. We’ll use the sadhana entitled The Great Mother for this retreat.
