The Nature of Mind
One-Day Meditation Retreat
Saturday, May 13, 9:00 am – 4:00 pm
At CTBC and via Zoom
The Philadelphia Buddhist Association and the Chenrezig Tibetan Buddhist Center are hosting a very special one-day meditation retreat, The Nature of Mind, with Venerable Lama Losang Samten on Saturday, May 13 from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm ET at the Center and via Zoom.
This is a unique opportunity to learn directly from a meditation master, Venerable Lama Losang Samten, Spiritual Director of CTBC. Lama Losang has selected a special teaching for the retreat, The Actual Methods of Practicing Calm Abiding. Shamatha or calm abiding is one of the two central meditation practices on the Buddhist path and works with the conceptual mind. Calm abiding is also translated as “peacefully remaining” or “tranquility meditation.” Participants will be sent the text after registration to read prior to the retreat.
TO REGISTER: PBC & CTBC Meditation Retreat – May 13. A confirmation email will be sent after registration which also contains the Zoom information. A suggested donation of $60 for Friends of PBA/CTBC and $40 for students is
