REFUGE RETREAT
Finding real protection in this suffering world
Sunday 16 November 9AM – 10AM: INTRODUCTION with Gen Lamchung
The practice of Refuge characterizes the Buddhist way of life and is the foundation for all spiritual realizations. By going for refuge to Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, we make a decision to make effort to receive Buddha’s blessings, put Dharma into practice in our daily life, and sincerely rely upon the community of pure spiritual practitioners, thus firmly placing our feet on the path to the blissful inner peace of enlightenment.
You can use this precious opportunity to deepen your experience of refuge through meditation, or through counting the refuge prayers as one of the great preliminary guides.
The retreat sessions are unguided, but advice is always available.
Meditation classes
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
WEDNESDAYS 12 & 26 NOV AT 7.15PM
Using meditation to develop our inner good qualities, such as love, compassion and peace.
The teaching will be given in English.

PRAYERS FOR WORLD PEACE – SUNDAY 9 NOVEMBER
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.
HAPPINESS TOOL KIT
Sunday 30 Nov, 10.30am – 11.30am
Life is challenging. We need to equip our mind with a happiness tool kit so that we can 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.
Every year the New Kadampa Tradition – International Kadampa Buddhist Union (NKT-IKBU) organises three International Festivals of modern Kadampa Buddhism taught by senior Teachers.
