Join us for a retreat on the Migstema prayer on 19th - 22nd October.

In Heart Jewel, Geshe-la says:
'Once a Mongolian minister asked the Panchen Lama, Palden Yeshe, to give him a small practice that he could do every day because he was otherwise very busy. The Panchen Lama asked him what kind of practice he wanted, and the Mongolian replied that he would like to receive the instruction on the Migtsema practice. The Panchen Lama was surprised and said, `How can you say that the practice of Migtsema is a small practice? There is no greater practice than this; it contains the meaning of all Buddha's eighty-four thousand teachings!''

From 15th-17th September Kadam Bridget Heyes will be guiding us through a Refuge retreat of prayer and meditation.

Refuge is the heart of Buddhist practice. It means turning to Buddha and his teachings as the source of our spiritual protection. On this retreat we will meditate to develop faith and the wish to find this inner protection.

We look forward to seeing you here to deepen our practice together.
