Join us for the WLBC’s keystone retreat of 2025, dedicated to Padmasambhava, the legendary figure who brought Buddhism to Tibet. Known as the “Second Buddha,” Padmasambhava embodies wisdom, spiritual friendship, and the courage to overcome obstacles—qualities that can inspire and guide us on our own path.
Through meditation, reflection, ritual and storytelling, we will explore his teachings, myths, and the profound symbolism of his enlightened activity. How can we cultivate his fearless compassion? What can his journey teach us about facing our own challenges with confidence and clarity?
This weekend offers a rare opportunity to step back from daily life, immerse yourself in deep practice, and connect with a like-minded community. Whether you are new to Buddhism or have been practicing for years, this retreat will provide a rich and supportive space to deepen your understanding and experience of Padmasambhava’s wisdom and energy.
We are delighted to be returning to the architectural jewel that is Vajrasana Retreat Centre in rural Suffolk. This only happens once a year! Early booking is recommended as places are limited. Book here!
Led by Amalavajra and Maitrikumara.
