About the Event:
The Venerable Lama Losang Samten holds a Buddhist Meditation Retreat in Winnipeg each year. The retreat include meditation, Tibetan Buddhist teaching, mantra recitation and traditional Buddhist prayer and healing practices. Lama Losang Samten will lead us through Tibetan meditation practices that include preliminary prayers, visualization, meaningful stories and silent meditation.
The theme of this year's meditation retreat is "the Path to Happiness". The retreat will emphasize shamatha (silent meditation) and encourage silence. During meals and breaks we will strive to be silent. Silent sitting shamatha is very import for all of us. It gives us time to reflect and listen to ourselves. There is so much happening in the world and in our individual lives and its energizing and renewing to spend time with ourselves.
The Venerable Lama Losang Samten was born in Ribuce, Tibet (1953) and escaped to India when he was a boy of six. He entered Namgyal Monastery in Dharamsala, India, the monastery of His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, where he received his Master of Buddhist Sutra and Tantra Degree in 1985. He now lives in Philadelphia and is the founder and Spiritual Director of several Tibetan Buddhist Centers.
For our out of town guest the Holiday Inn, 360 Colony St is close to the University of Winnipeg.
