Timeless Wisdom for Modern Life: A mini retreat

Saturday, August 23 - 10:00am to 12:30pm


Discover ancient wisdom that remains profoundly relevant today. Though composed centuries ago, the cherished Buddhist scripture Advice from Atisha’s Heart offers clear, practical guidance for navigating the challenges of modern life. Its insights can help us transform daily difficulties into opportunities for authentic inner growth and peace.

In this special retreat, Gen Khedrub will introduce a series of transformative meditations based on this timeless text. These meditations provide powerful tools to solve everyday problems, deepen our perspective, and bring real meaning and direction to our life.

This retreat offers:


  • Inspiring commentary on Advice from Atisha’s Heart
  • Guided meditations to connect with its practical wisdom
  • A peaceful space for reflection and renewal
  • Light refreshments during the break

Whether you're new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner, this retreat is designed to support and uplift everyone on their inner journey.

Take the time to become your own protector and benefactor. Everyone is welcome.
