Abiding in the Peace of Emptiness | Meditation Retreat

with Resident Teacher Gen Kelsang Norden

Saturday, May 20 | 10a.m.–3:30p.m.

SIGN UP

Emptiness is the doorway to liberation. 
During this guided day retreat we will meditate on the sacred object of emptiness, or ultimate truth. Gaining even a little experience of this object can profoundly change your understanding of yourself, others and the world.
In Buddhism, "emptiness" refers not to nothingness. but to the ultimate nature of reality. It is an experience of profound mental freedom that allows us to let go of our painful habits; through meditating on emptiness we can quickly become the person we wish to be -- profoundly happy, compassionate, and wise.

Sessions:
10–11:15 am
12–1:15 pm
2:15–3:30 pm
