July 25 - August 9, 2008

Generating and maintaining compassion is the most important Buddhist practice. Nourishing and developing this seed through training in the methods for developing compassion depends upon receiving the blessings of Avalokiteshvara. Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso will grant the empowerment and commentary on the practice of 1000 Armed Avalokiteshvara on Saturday July 26th and then give commentary to the book Universal Compassion . This will be followed by a three-day meditation retreat based on these teachings.

During the second week, teachings on Universal Compassion will continue for four days starting Sunday August 3rd, which will be followed by a two-day meditation retreat. For more information please go to booking information on the web site
