A Wealth of Merit – Guru Yoga and Mandala Offering Retreat

We all wish for spiritual realisations, but these depend upon creating certain inner conditions such as purifying negativity, accumulating merit, and receiving blessings.

Guru yoga and making mandala offerings are two of the most important practices for accumulating merit and receiving blessings. Merit is pure karma that acts as a powerful cause of future happiness and real spiritual growth.

Making mandala offerings is the gateway to accumulating the collection of merit and attaining an enlightened pure land and Guru yoga is the gateway to receiving powerful blessings of all the Buddhas of the ten directions through our Spiritual Guide.

This traditional preliminary guide retreat enables you to engage in both practices, with time to really absorb their meaning rather than rush through them. 

This is in-depth retreat, ideal for those who have been practising for some time or who are on a study programme. There will be some explanation at the beginning of each day, and some guidance available for those new to the practice and otherwise it will be self-directed.

The retreat will be done in the context of Offering to the Spiritual Guide prayers.
