Over a long weekend, fortunate students from Kadampa Meditation Centre Wellington in New Zealand gathered from all over the region, with some coming from as far as Auckland. Over three days, they engaged in meditations on all the stages of the path to Enlightenment. Resident Teacher Kelsang Lachpa led 12 beautiful meditations from recognising our precious human life, up to relying on our Spiritual Guide, based on the book The Mirror of Dharma with Additions.
It gave an opportunity for the centre to use the newly created outdoor seating area for community meals and chats during the retreat. Altogether it was a very meaningful and joyful retreat characterised by peace, gratitude and the kindness of the attendees. In their words:
“Thank you Venerable Geshe-la for giving us the entire path to enlightenment in such a simple and clear, yet profound, presentation. May we repay your kindness”.
