This August, Geshe-la is teaching on the Mindfulness of the Four Noble Truths 🌿

📅Saturday August 29th, 9.30am - 5pm
📍Chandrakirti Meditation Centre or join via Zoom

The Four Close Placements of Mindfulness reveal the truth of suffering by directly observing the body, feelings, mind, and phenomena as they really are. Through this insight, we uncover the causes of suffering, realize its cessation, and cultivate the path to lasting inner peace and freedom.

Tree planting efforts at Wish Fulfilling Land last week 🌱

Co-Director Phillipa has been putting tremendous energy into developing Wish Fulfilling Land, with a focus on maintaining the project's momentum. Exciting progress is underway, including preparations for the construction of solo retreat huts, installation of irrigation and water systems, logging of pine trees, earthworks with diggers on site, extensive gorse clearing, and new tree planting.

We are very grateful for all of the hands who are supporting this project!
