Retreat: Parting from the Four Attachments
Ven. Tenzin Priyadarshi
Sat Jan 23, 10:30am-04:00pm, 20 Chimneys, W20-306

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event

In this retreat, we will examine the pith instructions known as "Parting from the Four Attachments," universally regarded as one of the jewels of Tibetan Buddhism. These practical teachings are considered to be essential to anyone wanting to genuinely enter the practice of Dharma. Freeing oneself from the four attachments allows the sincere practitioner to recognize and avoid the typical pitfalls encountered on the spiritual path. It is believed that this teaching has the power to instill realizations on all who receive it with proper intention. Understanding the true nature of mind, that it is the source of all problems and solutions, allows one to alleviate the personal suffering that is caused by ignorance and confusion. The retreat will consist of teachings, discussion and meditation sessions. Please register on the website.
