Refuge Retreat

 Finding Refuge in Buddha, Dharma and Sangha

During this retreat we will spend time developing the beautiful mind of refuge, our actual protection from pain and problems. Through developing refuge, we will gradually build a stable peace within our mind, giving us the confidence and strength to make  authentic spiritual progress that we can then share with others.

We attain permanent freedom from suffering by sincerely relying upon  the Three Jewels: Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. Dharma is like  medicine that prevents the sufferings of samsara, Buddha is the doctor  who gives us this medicine, and the Sangha are the nurses who assist us in our practice.  Understanding this, we go for refuge to Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, realising that relying upon these three jewels can liberate us from all suffering and problems

This is a wonderful opportunity to develop this essential mind of refuge that leads to deep spiritual realisations.

We will be using Essence of Good Fortune Prayers in each session, you can order the booklet or e-booklet here
