Mindfulness Retreat led by Tenzin Tsapel

About the retreat 

The retreat will include meditation explanation, group discussion and time for reflection. Shamatha or calm abiding requires a firm basis of ethical conduct, which itself requires good mindfulness.

The mindfulness meditation for this retreat will focus on our body, feelings, mind and phenomena. These four objects, taught by the Buddha, are skilful objects of focus.
