Compassion Fasting Retreat
Led by Gen Kelsang Dao, Resident Teacher at Kadampa Buddhist Center New York
Friday, April 11th ~ Sunday, April 13th
This special fasting and purification practice is performed in conjunction with Thousand-armed Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha of Compassion.
It is a very powerful way to purify negativity, pacify strong delusions, receive blessings, and increase our love, compassion and bodhichitta.
In this retreat, we will make profoundly effective sung prayers for all suffering to completely cease while making physical prostrations in the World Peace Temple.
$60 including vegetarian meals, plus accommodation
Amitayus World Peace Retreat – New Year’s Eve
Wednesday Dec 31 – Thursday Jan 1 2009
Every New Year there is a tradition at Kadampa Buddhist Centers that we create special causes for world peace by relying upon Buddha Amitayus in a short retreat. We engage in these prayers to prevent untimely death and save the lives of countless living beings. We also increase wisdom, long life and merit. Through the power of Buddha’s blessings, our pure motivation, prayers and mantra recitations, good results will definitely come.
$25, plus accommodation
