Friday, June 3rd: Relying Upon a Spiritual Guide Talk with Kadam Kyle
The practice of relying on the spiritual guide is the root of our spiritual life. This practice empowers us to protect ourselves and others from suffering and to experience true happiness. In this class open to everyone, Kadam Kyle will give teachings on how to integrate our reliance on our spiritual guide into our daily experiences and thus make our life greatly meaningful.
Saturday, June 4th: Offering of Our Faith Retreat
Every day we remember the extraordinary kindness of Venerable Geshe-la, our Root Guru and Founder of the New Kadampa Tradition, but on this auspicious day, with minds of rejoicing and gratitude, we will offer him our faith through using the special prayer Request to the Holy Spiritual Guide Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso from his Faithful Disciples and collecting our Guru’s name mantra in a one-day retreat.
There will be three sessions of self-guided retreat using the sadhana The Hundreds of Deities of the Joyful Land According to Highest Yoga Tantra and the special request prayer. In the evening, the retreat will conclude with Offering to the Spiritual Guide for long life.
