Lam Rim Retreat

Lam Rim Retreat

Journey to Liberation: Meditations on the Path to Enlightenment

February 24th to March 2nd, 2026 (7 days)

9:00am to 4:00pm daily

We are excited to share this special announcement.

The Lam Rim (Stages of the Path) is the roadmap to inner peace and happiness. It organizes the vast teachings of the Buddha into a clear, step-by-step guide, helping us move from our ordinary suffering existence toward a mind of clarity, wisdom, and compassion.

For the first time in his 25 years of Teaching at GSL, Kushok is offering to teach the complete path of the Lam Rim meditations in a single week.

We often study the Lam Rim text, page by page in our weekly class. This retreat will focus on the experience, and Kushok will guide us through the entire Lam Rim from our first steps on the path to the ultimate "mind of enlightenment."

Receiving the path to enlightenment meditations in one retreat is an unbelievably rare and powerful opportunity. It may be the only chance in your life to receive these instructions from a fully qualified Teacher. Whether you have been studying for years or new to Buddhist philosophy, we encourage you to attend.

We understand that life is busy. Please join us for whatever time your schedule allows. Whether you come for the whole week or a few days, receiving these instructions from Kushok is a wonderful way to build inner peace.
