Weekend Country Retreat
Transform Your Life
Friday, May 16, 6 pm through Sunday, May 18,
3 pm
with Kadam Morten
In the serenity of meditation retreat we
can take the teachings deeply to heart. Based on Transform Your
Life, Kadam Morten will guide meditations for developing insight
into the nature of our mind and the meaning of our lives. When we
meditate on the clarity of the mind we experience a deep inner tranquility
and peace, allowing us to identify those actions which are truly
effective in transforming the adversity and confusion of our present
times.
The retreat will take place at the Kadampa Meditation Center, our
beautiful retreat center set in the woodlands close to the Delaware
River, only two hours from the City. This retreat is ideal for those
who have been participating in our Transform Your Life series or
the Wisdom series.
($120 for retreat, which includes two nights’
stay and all meals.)
"Without inner peace, outer peace
is impossible.
We all wish for world peace, but world peace
will never be achieved unless we first establish
peace within our own minds."

Medicine
Buddha
Empowerment
with Kadam Morten
Saturday, June 7
10:30 am – Empowerment
3:30 pm – Commentary
Sunday, June 8
10 am - 1:15 pm – Retreat
The roots of all disease, both physical and
mental, lie within the mind. Through receiving the healing empowerment
of the Medicine Buddha we can purify the mind at its deepest levels,
ripening our potential for health, happiness, and enlightenment.
By engaging regularly in the Medicine Buddha practice we can cure
not only physical diseases, but also diseases of the mind such as
depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. Relying on the blessings
of Medicine Buddha helps us to heal others. In the afternoon, we
will receive a commentary to this powerful practice. Indispensable
for anyone interested in the healing arts! ($50)
