The Program

7pm-8.30pm at 166 Warwick St - The Four Immeasurables - so called because we generate equanimity, love, compassion, and joy towards an immeasurable number of sentient beings - are an integral part of Tibetan Buddhism. As thought-feelings that open our heart towards ourselves and others, they are forerunners of bodhichitta - the altruistic intention that seeks enlightenment in order to benefit all sentient beings most effectively.

A weekend non residential retreat 10am-5pm at 166 Warwick St
