Weekend Meditation Retreat
Love Without Pain - a weekend meditation retreat
So many of us find ourselves in this situation. We want love and connection with other people, but we don’t want to get hurt.
It is possible to have love without pain. Buddhist wisdom guides us to understand how.
By understanding the difference between love and attachment and learning to distinguish these two in our own mind, we see how love is a source of happiness, whereas the pain and sorrow in our relationships arises from our attachment. Armed with this understanding, we can gradually remove attachment from our minds and improve our love until it becomes pure.
During the retreat, Gen Kelsang Ani give practical teachings and guide meditations that enable us to know how we can approach our love for our partner, family and friends from a fresh, new perspective by learning to discriminate clearly between love and attachment. In this way our relationships will become more harmonious, joyful and long-lasting, and function to draw us closer to a state of pure and lasting happiness.
In this retreat you’ll learn:
- the difference between love and attachment and how to distinguish between these two in your own mind;
- how pure love never gives rise to problems, but only peace and happiness for yourself and others, and how attachment brings nothing but pain;
- to bring more joy and connection into your life, by loving more;
- how to have love with no pain.
This retreat will be held at Camp Somerset. Set in beautiful rolling hills overlooking Somerset Dam, the retreat centre offers simple, but comfortable accommodation. Delicious vegetarian meals and refreshments are provided and retreat prices are inclusive of food, accommodation and all retreat sessions.
Book now to secure your place and look forward to having love without pain.
