Post Spring Festival Retreat: Complete Purity, Realising our Potential
with Gen Kelsang Rigpa, Western US National Spiritual Director and Resident Teacher at KMC Hollywood and KMC California.
We all carry the seeds of negativity within our minds. These are the principal causes of all our mental and physical problems. Buddha explained how we can remove all traces of negative karma from our minds through the powerful practice of Vajrasattva, the Buddha of purification.
In this guided retreat Gen Rigpa will lead us through all the essential practices explained during the International Spring Festival. Through Vajrasattva practice we can heal our mind, free ourselves from negative habits and realise our inner potential.
Gen Rigpa is known for his heartfelt and practical teachings which are presented with warmth and humour making them accessible to everyone.
