Bodhicitta Retreat - A weekend to Open the Heart
The first ever residential retreat to be held by Lama Choedak Rinpoche on Bodhicitta.
The Heart of Buddhist practice is Bodhicitta but this essential practice is
often relegated to just a quick few lines at the beginning of a
practice. Understanding the concept of Bodhicitta is simple but
realisation of the practice requires rigorous training and meditation.
In this very special retreat, teachings will be given on Ultimate
Bodhicitta; the non-clinging to acts of selflessness, kindness and
compassion.
Lama Choedak Rinpoche will draw on scriptures, especially Maitreya's
Abhisamayalankara, as well as from the wealth of his knowledge on the
subject through his own experience of doing a specific Bodhicitta
retreat as part of his three year retreat. The quintessence of the
Bodhisattva's Way of Life.
Cost: Whole retreat - $270 (Members & Concession), $300 (Non-members)
OR per day - $100 (Members & Concession), $110 (Non-Members)
Venue:
Baden-Powell Scout Centre, Pomona Street, PENNANT HILLS NSW 2120. The
Baden-Powell Scout Centre at Pennant Hills is situated on 30 hectares
of beautiful bush land just one kilometre from the Pennant Hills
Railway Station. The Centre is easily accessible by vehicle from
Pennant Hills Road or the Comenarra Parkway via Pomona Street. Map
