The Buddha told Meghiya that kalyanamitrata is the first condition that leads to the heart’s maturity. This ‘beautiful friendship’ is rightly praised in our Order too: it is the royal road to becoming what Gampopa called the ‘greatest benefactor’. So how is our practice of it actually going? We have been ordained – but are we continuing to train in becoming a friend to others, learning how to become more and more interested, sympathetic and bold?
With talks from the Ordination team,‘kalyana mitrata histories’, the practice of Kalyana Mitra Yoga, and through simply being together, we will look at – and cultivate – the qualities neededto become an effective kalyana mitra.

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.
