Making everyday meaningful: A spiritual framework for transformation
Sunday 25th-Tuesday 27th May, 10.30-5pm
In today’s world, we are all so interconnected. Everything we do affects others as well as ourselves. Our smallest actions can have a helpful or difficult effect on someone else. If we take time to consider our intention before we act, what difference does this make to our activity? And how does this change things for others?
How can we go about our everyday lives, bringing our intention into our way of being in the world so that we're more spacious, more humorous and less grasping?
And when we’ve come to the end of our day, instead of just simply going on to the next thing without pausing to acknowledge or appreciate the value of what we’ve done, we could offer and share whatever has been positive with others.
Our compassionate intention, the attitude of mind that we bring to whatever we do, and how we dedicate the fruits of our activity are called The Threefold Excellences: ‘Good in the Beginning’, ‘Good in the Middle’, ‘Good at the End’. This will be our focus for this retreat.
Furthermore, we are delighted that on Monday 26th May, we will be joined for a keynote teaching on The Threefold Excellences by Her Eminence Mindrolling Jetsun Khandro Rinpoche. She will teach on this spiritual framework, which the great master Longchenpa described as “The heart, the eye, and the life-force of true practice.”
Please note: Jetsün Khandro Rinpoche will also be giving a public teaching at the Rigpa UK London centre on the evening of Tuesday 27th May. This is a separate event; you can book here.
