Clear Mind Silent Retreat

When the turbulence of distracting thoughts subsides and our mind becomes still, a deep happiness and contentment naturally arises from within.

- Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

The real source of happiness is inner peace. If our mind is peaceful, we will be happy all the time, regardless of external conditions, but if it is disturbed or troubled in any way, we will never be happy, no matter how good our external conditions may be.

On this relaxed retreat learn guided meditations that can be practiced by anyone. With regular practice, these meditations help us overcome distractions and experience mental clarity and inner peace.

Join us in person at Kadampa Meditation Centre Vancouver and experience the benefits of meditation on Saturday June 8th from 10am to 3pm.

A wonderful opportunity to relax in a beautiful, peaceful environment and enjoy refreshments and a wholesome vegetarian lunch between sessions.

The retreat will be led by Gen Kelsang Sandenw, who will explain and guide meditations. Other than that, the retreat will be in silence to enable participants to settle their minds and enjoy a day of stillness and peace. At the end of the day, there will be an opportunity for Q&A.

This event is suitable for everyone, beginners are welcome.
