Ageing, illness, death, separation, and the law of karma are facts of life which we can’t avoid and are easily noticeable in our own lives, as well as in the world around us. They are ideal topics for reflection and meditation – they are immediate, accessible, and don’t require study. Although they might seem obvious, reflecting and meditating on them can have profound effects on the way we live our lives. Truly understanding them can lead to insight and according to the Buddha to entering the stream that irreversibly leads to liberation.
On this retreat, we will penetrate deeply into these topics through meditation and reflection whilst dwelling on what the Buddha taught about them.

Coming on a retreat at Padmaloka is a step into another way of being, where we temporarily take up a way of life that is more supportive of Buddhist Practice. We go forth from our ordinary circumstances, our comforts and distractions so that we can discern and move towards our ideals and help others to do so as well.When booking a retreat at Padmaloka it is important to get a sense of how you will be living here - what our customs, etiquettes and requirements for being on retreat are.
