with Kushok Lobsang Dhamchöe
June 6 - 8, 2003

Please join us for a weekend retreat to learn the four essential foundation practices (Ngondro) of Prostrations, Taking Refuge, Mandalas & recitation of the Vajrasattva Mantra.  From the Tibetan Buddhist perspective, the purpose of these practices are to cleanse away any accumulated negative karma and to generate positive merit.

The retreat will be lead by our Resident Teacher, Kushok Lobsang Dhamchöe, who is a Master of Sutra and Tantra from Namgyal Monastery, Dharamsala, the personal monastery of His Holiness, the Dalai Lama.

The retreat will take place at the Gaden Samten Ling Centre.  The cost of the retreat is $65 for non-members, $45 for members.  Saturday there will be a pot-luck lunch.  Dhana (offering) for the Teacher is not included in the cost.  If you wish to make an offering to the teacher, there will be an opportunity on Sunday after the practice.
