Guest Teacher Weekend Retreat. Becoming a Friend of the World: Living the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life.


  • Kadampa Meditation Center Maryland (map)

A Bodhisattva is a friend of the world: someone who has a strong aspiration to fully realize their own human potential in order to benefit others with their every thought and action.  This special intention has been called “the source of peace and happiness for all living beings.” Through developing this extraordinary wish, our mind becomes expansive and peaceful, filled with love, and our daily problems disappear.  We also gain a great ability to help others in the most appropriate and beneficial ways, leading them away from their own suffering and towards experiences of happiness and freedom. 

During this special weekend, Gen Khedrub will teach how to integrate this sublime way of being into our daily lives, resulting in greater peace and happiness for ourself and others.
