‘We are all alive therefore we will die’. We all know this intellectually, and yet most of us have not come to terms with the truth of our existence. We live our lives as if we will go on forever; this ‘head in the sand’ mentality gives us an unrealistic view. We do not realise how liberating it is to face our life with an awareness of our own mortality; how this enriches our experiences and teaches us to value this life.
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 a special session of prayers and mantra recitation.
Everything we perceive appears solid, real, and independent—but how things appear and how they actually exist are very different. According to Buddha’s profound teachings on emptiness, all phenomena are empty of inherent existence, like a dream or an illusion. By understanding this, we can let go of mistaken perceptions that cause suffering and instead experience deep inner peace and lasting freedom.
In October 2013 Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche gave his last public teachings in Portugal. During this Festival, these teachings will be revisited by Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong and Gen-la Kelsang Jampa.
This retreat will focus on the stages of the path of Sutra and Tantra, according to the Lord of All Lineages prayer. The retreat will follow a basic structure over five days: initial scope, intermediate scope, great scope, correct view of emptiness, and some introductory meditations on Tantra. Everyone is welcome to attend this retreat.
Join us for a inspiring talk with Kadam Bridget Heyes, UK National Spiritual Director of the NKT at Hull Truck Theatre. More information to follow soon.
