January 2024 with visiting guest teacher, Kadam Lucy
In January 2024, guest teacher Kadam Lucy will lead a three-week preliminary guide retreat on the practice of Vajrasattva purification. This retreat is a powerful method for purifying our negative karma. By deepening our reliance on Buddha Vajrasattva in this retreat, we will cleanse our mind of delusions, negativities, and obstacles that both cause us suffering and hold us back from reaching our full inner potential.
"Through the power of recitation and visualization, and through receiving Vajrasattva’s blessings, we will gradually purify our mind and our actions. In this way we can improve our qualities as a human being, and eventually become a special holy being."
~ Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche, teachings on Vajrasattva, 1993
