Cultivating the Four Immeasurables

A one-day retreat with the Venerable Tenzin Priyadarshi

Saturday, October 20, 2018
Location:  Goleta, CA

During this retreat,  we will learn how to deepen our understanding and practice of the Four Immeasurables (loving-kindness, compassion, empathetic joy and equanimity). These practices are core to the study and practice of Buddhism, especially for nurturing Bodhichitta – enlightened altruistic mind. By cultivating these wholesome qualities and applying them to all aspects of our daily lives, we can promote conditions for happiness in ourselves and others.  This retreat is suitable for all levels.

Bodhimarga one-day retreats include teachings, prayers, meditation, tea/lunch breaks and time for discussion. Chairs (and a few cushions for floor seating) are available, but feel free to bring your own. A patio lunch will be provided for all by local community members.  Please contact our local retreat coordinator Susie Koesterer at emid@emidsb.org or 805-570-1359 for more information.

The venue for our retreat is the EMID building, 224 Vereda Leyenda, Goleta, CA 93117.  Doors open for registration at 9:00am on Saturday, October 20, with prayers and teaching beginning at 10:00am.  We hope you will join us!
