VIII Karmapa meditation retreat with Misiek Leszek Nadolski

Dear Friends,

On March 2nd, first full moon of the Earth Dog Year we’ll start the VIII Karmapa meditation retreat, after a Pho-wa practice session which will take place just before the course starts. This very day is said to be one of the four special, favorable days for meditation and accumulation of good impressions.

The VIII Karmapa retreat is open to all practitioners who have previously taken refuge with Lama Ole, have completed all preliminary practices of Nyndro and received the transmission of this practice from Lama Ole. The Pho-wa session is open to those who have successfully completed a Pho-wa course with Lama Ole. The lecture on Friday 2nd March at 8pm is open to all interested in the topic.
