Abiding in Freedom
Training in Emptiness - A Meditation Retreat
with Kadam Morten
At the Kadampa Meditation Center, Glen Spey, NY
March 5 - 7
Online Registration Now Open
During this weekend retreat in the serene and beautiful environment of the Kadampa Meditation Center and Temple we will explore the liberating meditation on emptiness. Emptiness is the word by Buddha to describe the ultimate nature of reality. It is not a nihilistic nothingness, but rather an experience of freedom from limitation that allows us to let go of our painful ways of relating to ourselves and the world. It is a source of joy, creativity and healing that we can all tap into at any time. Through meditating on emptiness we can quickly become the person we wish to be, and we open ourselves to our potential for complete liberation and enlightenment.
Kadam Morten will guide us into a practical experience of the meditation on emptiness, showing us to integrate this joyful meditation into our own daily practice.
The Kadampa Meditation Center, our beautiful retreat center set in the woodlands close to the Delaware river, is only two hours from the city.
