This retreat is in two parts. Ideally, one attends both but those unable to, as is often the case at this time of year, may attend one or the other.
PART ONE: Connecting with Enlightened Compassion
Sun Dec 23rd - Fri Dec 28th
The Chenrezik practice contains the entire Buddhist path, from Refuge through to voidness meditation. Ken will teach the practice explaining the significance of its various steps and how to practice them in a meaningful way which brings them to life. This section of the course places particular emphasis on the compassion embodied in Chenrezik and the first five of the six paramitas. As this course contains Chenrezik practice instructions, it is open to all who have taken Refuge.

Course starts 09.45 Sunday morning and ends 16.00 Fri afternoon

Fri Dec 28th - Wed Jan 2nd
Using Patrul Rinpoche’s teachings as taught by Chojé Akong Rinpoche, Ken will continue with advice and instructions on the Chenrezik practice, this time with an emphasis of the five enlightened wisdoms and the sixth paramita, wisdom.
As this course contains Chenrezik practice instructions, it is open to all who have taken Refuge.
