City-retreat with Gen Dragpa

Our mind has tremendous power to either help or harm us. Through practicing refuge, we gradually learn how to become our own protector, instead of our own worst enemy, building stable habits of peace, joy and freedom within our own heart which we can then share with others.

We can achieve complete and permanent protection from all suffering by sincerely relying upon the Three Jewels: Buddha – the source of all refuge; Dharma – the realizations of Buddha’s teachings; and Sangha – pure Dharma practitioners who help us with our spiritual practice. Dharma is like medicine that prevents the sufferings of samsara, Buddha is the doctor who gives us this medicine, and the Sangha are the nurses who assist us.

This retreat is partly led by Gen Dragpa and partly self-guided. 

If you wish to learn more before the retreat, there is a public talk on friday 9th of October. 

This course is taught by Gen Kelsang Dragpa.  He is the Resident Teacher at Nordic KMC, and National Spiritual Director for the Nordic Region.  He has been practising and teaching Kadampa Buddhism for many years and has been an ordained monk since 1993.  His way of teaching is very practical and easy to understand.
