Transforming Mud into Lotus Blossoms
A (Mostly Silent) Weekend Retreat with Dharmacharya Leslie Rawls
Wellbeing Retreat Center, Tazewell, Tennessee
Registration is open.
Everyone experiences difficulties, suffering. The Buddha taught concrete ways to hold and transform our suffering, so compassion for ourselves and others can arise. In this retreat, we will study and practice ways to cultivate compassion and ease our suffering. On the last day, Leslie will transmit the Five Mindfulness Trainings to those who wish to formally commit to the precepts. Suitable for experienced practitioners and newcomers.
