Tibetan Buddhism Retreat: "Cultivating Compassionate Love" November 26, 2010

We can learn to love ourselves and others more deeply through actively cultivating compassionate love. This kind of love heals the painful divisions between living beings, allowing us to forgive others and to cleanse ourselves of ill-will.

The retreat introduces gentle visualization, mantra, and meditation practices given by the Buddha.

Cost: $190 (nonresidential); $275 (residential).

Friday 10 AM—9 PM; Saturday, 10 AM—5 PM; Sunday, 10 AM—3 PM. Instructors: Lama Palzang, and Pema Gellek.

Please RSVP at least 1 week in advance by calling (510) 809-1000 or e-mailing us at Nyingma-Institute@nyingma.org. This ensures that we provide enough food for everyone.

**The Tibetan Nyingma Institute, founded and established in 1973 by Tibetan Lama Tarthang Tulku, overlooks the San Francisco Bay from a hillside just north of the University of California campus. Painted a vivid yellow, the three-story buildings have been said to resemble a Tibetan monastery. Climbing the staircase, you enter brightly colored rooms where you can sip a cup of tea, explore the many treasures of a small bookstore, or simply relax and enjoy the beauty of the sweeping views.
