Retreat on the Bodhicitta Practice for Order members (Online)

Led by Vessantara

Over recent months, our shared led Bodhicitta Practice on Sundays has connected hundreds of us around the world. In these challenging times we’ve discovered the power of this shared meditation: to resource us and link us to the Dharma, to tune in directly to our deep links with one another, and to join together on a heart level to respond to the world’s suffering. This feels like an excellent time for a retreat to explore this practice more fully and find ways to take it deeper.

Partial Attendance
Although it’s best if you commit yourself to the retreat, Vessantara is happy for you to attend only the sessions your situation allows.

Any amount donated is entirely up to you but as a guideline we invite an amount of £150 waged and £50 unwaged, but feel free to give as much as you can and is appropriate to your circumstances. Vessantara was planning on leading a Bodhicitta retreat from home, but hearing how financially severe the impact of the Coronavirus lock down been on the Adhisthana community, he has offered to run this as an Adhisthana retreat and to share any dana for the retreat with him.
