Lamrim Retreat with Ven. Sangye Khadro

The Sanskrit word for enlightenment, bodhi, literally means awakened, i.e., awakened from the sleep of ignorance, and the Tibetan word for enlightenment, jang-chub, means purified and developed.

This retreat will guide you step-by-step in a method which has been used for hundreds of years by the realized masters of Tibet.

The genre of teachings known as the Stages of the Path (Tibetan: Lamrim) represents a synthesis of the entire path to enlightenment. Based on Atisha’s Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment, they present the essence of all the Buddha’s teachings in a clear and concise way, easy to understand and apply in meditation.
