How to Engage in Retreat: Go Deeper Sunday, January 2 from 3:30-5:00pm

Engaging in a retreat is one of the most courageous, wise and rewarding activities you can do. Far from running away from things, a meditation retreat is a way of engaging yourself. As your need for distraction calms down you can begin to see the workings of of your mind, and you can begin to see how the ancient wisdom of Buddhas teachings can illuminate modern life. 

Gen Khedrub will explain the different types of retreat, physical, verbal and mental and share simple techniques for improving your practice of meditation.

This event is a perfect preparation for those wishing to engage in either of the upcoming retreats with Gen Khedrub on the weekends of January 7-9 or January 15-17, or for those wishing to engage in the 21 Day Mediation Challenge starting on January 5.

In person or online. This event will be delivered in-person and online via a Zoom webinar. Kadampa Meditation Center Boston is located at 2298 Massachusetts Ave. in Cambridge, just a few blocks from the Davis Square T stop. After registering you will receive instructions on how to join in the event online.
