Bone Seed, Diamond Seed: Meditator as Mage (Sub35s)

Friday 12th to Friday 19th April 2024

With Viryadeva, Kit & Team

At Rivendell Retreat Centre

Price: £339 - £299 (Conc)

This retreat is suitable for those new to meditation and Buddhism as practised within the Triratna Buddhist Community.

Please note: although this is a young peoples' introductory event, there will be some Buddhist ritual and periods of silence during this retreat.

Buddhism's central teaching is that - despite appearances - nothing in life is fixed. What looks solid and stable is in reality fluid, malleable. The appearance of solidity and permanence is a product of our own minds.

The implications of this are profound. If the mind has the power to create a world of solidity, it also has the power to create an entirely different kind of world. If we are indeed living in an illusion, then it is an illusion of our own making. It's as if we are all magicians who have not yet awoken to our latent powers. What if we learned to cast a better kind of spell?

On this retreat, we'll be learning the skills we need to take hold of the mind's power to create its own reality. Drawing on ancient Tantric sources, we'll work with meditation, mantra and ritual, to discover how unleash the mage within each of us. Together, we'll find out how to reshape our world into a realm of magic, depth and significance.
