PURIFICATION AND ACCUMULATION OF MERIT RETREAT March 3-5,2023


 

March 3-5, 2023

When we try to engage in virtuous activities sometimes our mental state is obscure, weary, and easily distracted. This is due to the force of the habits we have acquired, and to the presence of obscurations and defilements that clutter our minds. Hence the importance of carrying out purification practices with the aim of purifying ourselves, through the 4 forces of confession and a good understanding of the law of karma and its effects, from negative karmas accumulated since beginningless time, and of giving greater strength and vigour to our mind so that it can more readily engage in virtuous activities. It is also an opportunity to prepare for the retreat in April.



RETREAT'S PROCEDURE

The retreat will take place online via Zoom. The two days will be divided into four sessions, each day beginning with the Six Preparatory Practices and the Prayer to the 35 Buddhas, then 2 sessions will be devoted to meditations and prostrations in connection with the 10 karmic paths. A general explanation of the practice will be given on the first morning by a senior student.
