Silent Retreat
Prayers for World Peace
With Gen Kelsang Khyenwang
Wednesday, Jan. 1 | 10am – 2pm
Cost: $25 for full retreat. $10 per session.
Discover the Power of Love and Wisdom
Our mind has immense power, therefore our mental actions such as our wishes, intentions and determinations create our world and the experiences we have within it. Empower your mind and collectively create the causes for a world founded in compassion and wisdom. By engaging in these simple but profound Prayers for World Peace and meditating together, we can create the causes for a pure, harmonious and peaceful world.
Although the teacher will give some verbal guidance, we will practice silence throughout the retreat. In this way, we can learn to enjoy and maintain the special experience of peace that we create during the meditation session. This retreat is perfect for all levels of experience.
