Retreat – The Yoga of Buddha Heruka, Awakening our Buddha Nature with Gen Kelsang Mila

The purpose of this Retreat is to awaken our Buddha Nature and draw closer to Buddha Heruka through a simple daily practice.  

Buddha Heruka is the Buddha of Bliss and Compassion and just meditating on Buddha Heruka brings peace to the world. Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso has designed The World Peace Temples to resemble The Mandala of Buddha Heruka.

Simply by being in the presence of a practitioner of Buddha Heruka our mind becomes pure, we become happy and our mental disturbances are overcome, our delusions are dispelled, we can remove obstacles and heal sickness, we can attain liberation.
