REQUEST TO THE LORD OF ALL LINEAGES RETREAT
Sunday 4 to Saturday 17 January 2026
In this retreat we have the opportunity to contemplate and meditate on this very blessed prayer and allow the meaning of each verse to touch our heart. Through this our mind will transform into wisdom, cherishing love, compassion and so forth. As Venerable Geshe-la said, there is no greater meaning than engaging in this practice.

Meditation classes
PRAYERS FOR WORLD PEACE – SUNDAY 7 DECEMBER
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.
Prayers for World Peace is a free class that gives us the opportunity to develop a warm and loving heart. The class includes a Dharma talk, meditation and short prayers.
No need to book, just come along.
THURSDAY 11AM – 12PM
Dec 4th & Dec 18th only
We need to transform whatever circumstances we meet, whether good or bad, into the spiritual path by channelling all our actions in a virtuous direction. This practice is extremely important. Those who engage in it successfully will never have to experience anxiety or discouragement, but will be able to remain calm and peaceful in all circumstances.
LEARN TO MEDITATE
Wed 3rd & Wed 24h Dec at 7.15pm
We will be using meditation to develop our inner good qualities, such as love, compassion and peace.
The teaching will be given in English.
Just drop in, no need to book. Suitable for beginners and experienced meditators. The classes include two short guided meditations and a teaching.
Fee: RM5
No need to book, just come along.
HAPPINESS TOOL KIT
Sunday 21 Dec, 10.30am – 11.30am
Life is challenging. We need to equip our mind with tools, which are special views, intentions and practices taught by Buddha, because these will help us remain happy regardless of what life throws at us. In this class we learn how we can accomplish this through training in meditation as well as practising in daily life.
No need to book, just drop-in.
Every year the New Kadampa Tradition – International Kadampa Buddhist Union (NKT-IKBU) organises three International Festivals of modern Kadampa Buddhism taught by senior Teachers.
