Course info

Vajrasattva Purification Retreat

This 5 day retreat will focus on the practice of Vajrasattva Purification.  Vajrasattva is the Buddha we rely upon to purify our negative karma and free our mind from the causes of suffering.  The retreat will emphasize the four powers, (regret, reliance, opponent force and promise) and reciting the mantra of Vajrasattva.  We engage in this practice in the context of the practice of Offering to the Spiritual Guide.

The first session of each day will be led by Gen Kelsang Thekchen.

You can learn about the practice at the Detox the Mind day course

    If you are wanting to do the retreat, it is strongly suggested that you attend this introduction as it will explain the retreat very clearly.  The retreat itself will have alot of prayers and very little guidance, so the introduction will have lots of helpful information.
