Advice from Atisha's Heart

week-end retreat with Gen Pagpa - all welcome!
21 - 23 May 2010 at Bodhi Khaya Retreat Centre 
Please book soon to secure a place

Atisha gave his "Advice" over a thousand years ago, but his timeless instructions on how to skilfully follow the spiritual path are just as relevant today as when they were first explained.
By applying Atisha's advice we can develop and maintain a pure and happy mind even in our busy modern lives and gradually progress towards the ultimate peace of full enlightenment.

Gen Pagpa has been practising Kadampa Buddhism for seventeen years and is a close disciple of Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. He will give two teachings on Saturday and two on Sunday with guided meditation and discussion.

This is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a relaxing, spiritual holiday in a beautiful and peaceful setting.

Cost for the whole event:
R600 (or R500 for Tushita members) incl. accommodation on Fri. and Sat. and
meals from Friday evening until Sunday lunch or R150 (R100 for Tushita members) per day incl lunch.
If you arrive in time for the teaching on Saturday morning the cost for the whole course is R450 (or R350 for Tushita members.)
The teachings begin at 10.30am on Saturday morning and finish at 5.00pm on Sunday.
