Three Continents, One Purpose: retreats for a peaceful mind

On the weekend of November 16–17, Guest Teacher, Gen Chodor visited Kadampa Meditation Center Maryland to lead a retreat on The Wisdom of Meditation: How to Meditate Effectively.

Approximately 60 people participated in this retreat, receiving invaluable instructions on “Training in Meditation” from Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso’s book Mirror of Dharma with Additions. Gen Chodor also shared advice that Gen-la Dekyong received directly from Venerable Geshe-la on how to improve our meditation practice.

Participants left the retreat feeling encouraged, inspired, and clear about how to make progress in their meditation practice. How wonderful it is to have such clear instructions on becoming more qualified meditators, equipped to guide ourselves and others effectively on the path to pure and lasting happiness!
