SPECIAL EVENTS
Vajrasattva 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.
Each session consists of prayers, some silent meditation, and recitation of Vajrasattva’s mantra.
You are welcome to drop in to individual sessions on any of the days.
Session fee: RM10
