From time to time it is very beneficial to slow down and engage in retreat to mix our mind with Buddha’s teachings. At KMC CA we can practice retreat states of mind and learn to reduce our distractions. With the support and encouragement of spiritual friends, we are able to engage in physical, verbal and mental retreat and to draw closer to our Spiritual Guide. This is a special opportunity to gain deep experience of the practices that are the very essence of Kadampa Buddhism.

For all advanced retreats, please contact us regarding fees & additional information.

Preliminary Guide retreats

Meditate on the Stages of the Path to Enlightenment (Lamrim)

Special week-long guided retreat

This practice of the twenty-one Lamrim meditations is the actual method for increasing our good qualities and improving ourself as a person. When we do retreat on the twenty-one meditations, it is best if our retreat is at least one week long and if possible we should do four sessions each day. This is a rare opportunity to engage in the special guided Lamrim retreat based on the New Meditation Handbook.
