Retreat Title: The Awakening Heart and the Divine Abodes
Led by Rijumitra and Tejananda
This retreat will focus on the four brahmaviharas or ‘divine abodes’ – love, compassion, joy and equanimity – in the context of the cultivation of the Bodhicitta (the awakening heart), and the tonglen or ‘giving and receiving’ practice. Bodhicitta could be described as both the heart-response of wisdom to the suffering of living beings everywhere and the urge to realise Buddhahood for the benefit of all.
The divine abodes are also known as the ‘illimitables,’ as their remit is universal – all living beings without exception. The practices that we’ll explore on this retreat are all ways of opening our hearts and responding to the joys and sufferings of living beings – opening to the inseparable wisdom and compassion of Bodhicitta itself.
This retreat is suitable for people who have been meditating for at least 3 years
