About the Course

Finding Real Security in Uncertain Times Day Course with Mahayana Refuge Ceremony with Gen Kelsang Tonglam on 19 May 

Refuge Retreat Commentary with Kadampa Teacher Yasmin Li on 20 May 

Refuge Retreat from 21 – 27 May 

We all wish for security and happiness within ourselves but we often experience a lot of fear, insecurity and mental turbulence. We can learn how to strengthen our mind by improving our good qualities through relying upon the Three Jewels – Buddha, Dharma and Sangha. We can develop actual protection in our minds, empower ourselves to solve seemingly endless problems in our life and allow a deep sense of confidence and inner joy now and in the future.

Gen Tonglam will explain what is the real meaning of going for refuge and how to practice going for refuge to Buddha, Dharma and Sangha in our daily life, as the means to enter into Buddhist meditation practice.

If you wish to formalise this practice, in the afternoon session of the day course there will be an opportunity to enter into Buddhism by taking the precious Mahayana Refuge Vow.

Following the day course, you can deepen your mind of reliance and meditation experience by engaging in the Refuge Retreat from 20-27 May.
