New Year’s Day Retreat: The Purification Practice of Vajrasattva

January 1 @ 10:30 am - 7:45 pm

$20

What are we wishing for in the new year? There is nothing greater than a peaceful heart; warm, friendly feelings towards others; joy and contentment. If our mind is pure, nothing can keep us from fulfilling our spiritual wishes.

When human beings develop a sincere wish to purify negative karma in their own mind, all the Buddhas appear as Buddha Vajrasattva. Vajrasattva’s path is the practice of taking stock of one’s own negative actions and promising to improve. Our Resident Teacher, Kadam Keli Vaughan will give the Blessing Empowerment of Buddha Vajrasattva on Sunday, December 31, followed by a New Year’s Day guided Vajrasattva retreat.

This special retreat opportunity is perfect for anyone wishing to make their New Year align with their wish to purify negative habits and tendencies.
