In his teachings on the law of karma, Buddha helps us see that our unhappiness and difficulties are not caused by the external world. Rather, they are the result of the negative karma we have created in the past through our own harmful actions. Through our sincere practice of relying upon Buddha Vajrasattva, the Buddha of Purification, we can free ourselves from all our negative karma. As a result, we will have a peaceful, pure mind and we will easily remove obstacles to our spiritual development.

 An introduction to the practice will be given in the first teaching session. All subsequent retreat sessions will include chanted prayers and recitation of the Vajrasattva purification mantra. Participants are encouraged to bring a mala. No experience is necessary. Everyone is welcome.
