Manjushri Retreat - Nurturing Insight into the Nature of our Mind
Tuesday, December 9 to Saturday, December 13, 2025
9 am to 4 pm daily
Spiritual Director Kushok Lobsang Dhamchöe invites you to join him for a five day Manjushri Retreat called Nurturing Insight into the Nature of our Mind from Tuesday, December 9 to Saturday, December 13, 2025.
Manjushri embodies the wisdom of all the Buddhas. He radiates the clear light of understanding that dispels the darkness of our ignorance. With his flaming sword of insight, he cuts through our delusions, revealing the purity of our mind.
Meditating on Manjushri awakens our inner wisdom which brings forth our gentleness, fearlessness, and compassion. Through Manjushir's blessings, our confusion transforms into clarity, and our wisdom becomes the path to liberation from suffering and to benefit all living beings.
