Long Life Retreat Saturday, February 18, 2012 A long life is necessary if we wish to make spiritual progress. We need ample time to purify our negativities and to accumulate abundant virtuous karma. Fortunately Buddha taught methods whereby we can extend our life. One such practice is the Yoga of Buddha Amitayus. Through engaging in particular visualizations and prayers, and holding faith in Buddha Amitayus we create the cause for our life to be extended. Free to attend. SESSION TIMES:
9 - 10 am WISDOM WORKSHOP Saturday, March 3, 2012 Most of us experience considerable suffering whenever we encounter a situation that we do not wish for and can find no remedy to alleviate it. Because we cling tightly to certain attitudes we end up causing ourself the misery of disappointment, anger, resentment, depression, and other negative feelings. Instead of making ourself ill we need to make ourself well by becoming our own wisdom doctor. Cost: $20 [Centre cardholders 1/2 price] Healing Retreat: Medicine Buddha Prayer
Saturday, March 17, 2012 Unfortunately, many people around us are suffering from a myriad of illnesses and diseases. We ourself may be suffering as well. The best way to help others and ourself is to use the power of our mind to create positive karma and to destroy negative karma. We can accomplish this by engaging in the healing practice of Medicine Buddha. Medicine Buddha is a Buddha doctor whose function is to release living beings from outer and inner sickness by bestowing blessings upon them. Free to attend. SESSION TIMES:
