Following on from the NKT-IKBU International Spring Festival at Manjushri KMC in England, Kadam Morten Clausen will lead a retreat based on the teachings and commentaries received at this Festival. During this retreat, Kadam Morten will guide us in meditations on transforming adverse conditions. We will learn how to train our mind to respond to any difficulty with peace and positivity— strengthening either our wisdom or our compassion. In this way, we become resilient and invulnerable to challenging situations. To support this inner training, we will also engage once a day in the powerful meditation practice of Buddha Amitayus – the Buddha of long life, wisdom and good fortune. 

In the meditation session breaks throughout the retreat there is time to relax and walk in the beautiful surroundings. Also, each person on a group retreat will help out in the breaks with a small job to ensure the retreat runs smoothly.

To maximise the benefit from this retreat, it is strongly recommended to attend the International Spring Festival to receive the blessing empowerment and teachings. Please click on the link below for more information and booking.
