Lamrim Retreat
Kelsang Mila will be guiding the retreat on Saturday and Sunday
Although there are countless living beings, humans and non-humans, all are included within three kinds: those who seek mainly worldly happiness, those who seek mainly the attainment of liberation from samsara, and those who seek mainly the attainment of full enlightenment.
The actual practice of the Stages of the Path (Tib. Lamrim) fulfils the wishes of all three kinds of being. Thus the main function of the Lamrim instructions is to fulfil the needs and wishes of all living beings.
The practice of Lamrim is very important because everyone needs to cultivate peaceful states of mind. By listening to or reading these teachings we can learn how to control our mind and always keep a good motivation in our heart. This will make all our daily actions pure and meaningful. By controlling our mind we can solve all our daily problems, and by gradually improving our daily practice of Lamrim we can advance from our present stage to the stage of a Bodhisattva. By progressing further we can become a fully enlightened being. This is the essential meaning of our human life. Such a great attainment will be the result of our practice of Lamrim. .
It is only possible to attend full days
