The Power of Purification | Fri 20 Nov - Thur 26 Nov

Vajrasattva Retreat with Kelsang Sama

Day passes are available.

Please email us to book the Friday - Sunday weekend package.

Buddha taught many different methods to purify non virtuous actions, downfalls and broken commitments but the supreme method is the practice of meditation and recitation of Vajrasattva.

This practice is the scientific method to purify our mind and to transform our mind from an impure mind into a pure mind using Tantric technology.

This retreat provides an opportunity to learn and gain deep experience of this important spiritual practice.

Suitable for beginners and experienced meditators alike. No previous meditation experience is necessary. Everybody is welcome.
