SPECIAL EVENTS
Vajrasattva Purification Retreat
We spend all our time and energy trying to avoid problems by making changes to our external world. However, our unhappiness and difficulties are not caused by the external world. Our difficulties are the result of negative karma we have created in the past through our own harmful actions.
By relying upon Vajrasattva, the Buddha of purification, we can free ourselves from our negative karma, the cause of our suffering. As a result of our practice, our mind will become pure, obstacles to our spiritual development will be removed and our external conditions will improve.
The retreat is unguided. You are welcome to drop in to individual sessions on any of the days. Each session consists of prayers, some silent meditation, and recitation of Vajrasattva’s mantra. We will be using the prayer booklet Meditation and Recitation of Solitary Vajrasattva.
Session fee: RM10
WHO CREATED THE WORLD?
A Special SATURDAY TALK by Resident Teacher Gen Kelsang Lamchung.
Who created all the suffering in this world? How can we be liberated from it?
We will explore, from the Buddhist perspective, why we are experiencing all the difficulties that are appearing now, and how we can bring about positive transformation in our life.
The Three Principal Aspects of the Path to Enlightenment
Join us for a meaningful meditation retreat focused on Je Tsongkhapa’s wisdom teachings as given in the poem The Three Principal Aspects of the Path to Enlightenment. The poem and commentary are presented in Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso’s book The Mirror of Dharma with Additions. These three meditations lead to realizations of Renunciation, Bodhichitta, and the Correct View of Emptiness, and form the essential meaning of all of Buddha’s teachings. They are the gateway to liberation and enlightenment.
This retreat offers a rare opportunity to transform your mind into the path to enlightenment and begin the journey towards solving all your human problems. You can join us for individual sessions, or all of them.
Session times to be confirmed in due course.
Session fee: RM10

Drawing on Buddhist insights and guided meditations, we will discover how to replace negativity with peace of mind.
This class is ideal for anyone looking to feel better in a real, lasting way, beyond surface-level affirmations or forced optimism.

- Discover how to face challenges with confidence and peace
- Develop an authentic sense of well-being from within
Everyone is welcome—no prior meditation experience required
Prayers
Powa Ceremony, a beautiful and powerful ritual practice, enables us to benefit the deceased by coming together as a group and making prayers and offerings on their behalf. Then, through the power of our compassionate intention, strong prayer, and concentration on the practice, we transfer the consciousness of the deceased to the Pure Land of the Buddha of Compassion so that they will experience a pure and lasting peace and finally be freed from the painful cycling of suffering and its causes.
No previous experience necessary.
