Fathers' Retreat: Milarepa - Great Disciple, Great Master

Milarepa, the renowned Tibetan yogi and poet, lived a life of extremes, embodying the essence of spiritual transformation. His discipleship under Marpa the Translator was marked by challenges that forged him into a true master, who later passed his wisdom on to devoted followers like Rechungpa and Gampopa.

This retreat will explore Milarepa’s inspiring journey, his songs of realization, and the lessons he imparted. Through his example, we’ll reflect on the roles of both disciple and teacher, learning how to be open to guidance and how to share what we've learned with others.

Join us as we delve into the stories, teachings, and timeless wisdom of Milarepa.

Details and Timings

The retreat starts with dinner on the first day at 6:30pm and finishes on the final day at around 2:30pm.

Coming on retreat

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.
