Benefits of retreat
It is traditional in Kadampa Buddhist Centers to do regular meditation retreats. This allows us to digest the teachings we have heard and to gain some precious familiarity with them. The more sessions we can attend, the more peaceful and concentrated our mind will become, and the more relaxed and happy we will feel. We can also hope to gain some special, lasting spiritual insights that are not so easy to gain in the hurly burly of our busy ordinary routine. Retreat is not only enormously relaxing, but also gives you knowledge, skills, and a renewed spiritual focus, such that you return to work more relaxed, healthy, sane, and confident!
What to expect
On each day retreat, there are four one-and-a-half-hour sessions a day, each involving a balance of study/reading, preparatory prayers, and meditation. We start with 25 minutes study of the meditation we are about to do, followed by prayers to prepare our mind for meditation, followed by the meditation itself. Generally the sessions are guided by the teacher.
