Buddhist Retreats

It is traditional in Kadampa Buddhist Centres to engage in regular meditation retreats. This allows us to gain some familiarity with the teachings we have received and thereby obtain personal meditative experience of the truth of Buddha's words.

The more regularly we attend sessions, the more of an opportunity we have to generate a peaceful and concentrated mind. We can also gradually gain special spiritual insights that are generally not possible in the hurly burly of our ordinary daily life.

Teacher Training Programme Preliminaries Retreats

These retreats are held at Ashoka Centre and are open to everyone. On each day of retreat there are four one-and-a-half-hour sessions a day, each involving a balance of study/reading, preparatory prayers and meditation.
