Silent retreat on emptiness

About the silent retreat

‘There is no greater method for experiencing peace of mind and happiness than to understand and meditate on emptiness.’ Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

Emptiness is the actual nature of reality; it is the way things exist as opposed to the way they appear. With knowledge and experience of emptiness, you’ll reduce your problems and eventually overcome them permanently.

Whether you’re a beginner or more experienced meditator, through practising the meditations that Buddhist nun, Gen Kelsang Ani will guide during this day retreat, you’ll come to understand the true nature of things. With this wisdom realising emptiness, you’ll live lightly and joyfully, experiencing peace and happiness day and night, life after life.

Everybody is welcome to attend this illuminating and meaningful day retreat.
