Friday 10 June 2022 – Monday 13 June 2022 at Vijayaloka Retreat Centre in Minto Heights
Padmasambhava is reputed to have enabled the establishment of the Dharma (the Buddha's teachings) in Tibet. At the time Tibet was a wild country, full of 'red faced warriors' where demons ran amok, smashing down any attempts to bring peace to the country.
But how did Padmasambhava ‘tame the demons’? Not by force or manipulation, but by naming and befriending them. And herein is a wonderful teaching for everyone who wishes to work with their own being towards true and deep contentment.
If we want to understand ourselves at a core level and make the shift away from the unhelpful habits that erode our happiness and move toward beauty, security and true fulfilment then we need to get to know and make friends with our demons; those habits both conscious and unconscious that pull the rug out from under us.
We'll have a rich program of meditation and study infused with spacious periods of relaxation so that you can kick back, drop into a lovely peaceful space and deepen connections with yourself and each other.
Suitable for those familiar with the practices (Mindfulness of Breathing and Mettā Bhāvanā) we teach.
