Sangha Retreat - Kench Hill 28 - 30 Septemeber 2018
Following the great success of our last retreat in January
we will be returning to Tenterden in September to take
the opportunity to step out of the hurly burly of daily life
and practice together in the beautiful surroundings
of Kench Hill House.
We're calling the retreat - Becoming a Lotus - Becoming a Jewel
We'll be exploring the qualities of Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, particularly in relation to his mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum".
"Mani" means jewel and "Padme" means lotus
and we're going to look at what that means to us in practice.
How do we put down roots and blossom like a lotus?
What does it really mean to be grounded?
And how do we nurture that jewel in our hearts which IS the Bodhicitta,
the longing to gain Enlightenment for the sake of all sentient beings?
There will also be a mitra ceremony during this retreat.
Led by Vidyakaya, Sraddhamayi. Nagarakshita and Vidyaketu
Booking has now opened for the retreat. Anyone is welcome who has had some Triratna experience and knows the basic practices. Unfortuneately we have had to raise our prices slightly because the cost of booking Kench Hill has gone up considerably.
