Guru Yoga & Mandala Offering Retreat
Unguided Retreat - Introduction by Kadam Ai Peng
Saturday 28 June 2026
9am to 6.30pm
At Heruka Kadampa Meditation Centre, Golders Green
Introduction with Kadam Ai Peng McBretney in the first session
Guru Yoga and Mandala offering retreat combines two of the four great preliminary guides that we need to practise if we want to gain Mahamudra realisations – the quick path to enlightenment.
We all wish for spiritual realisations, but these depend upon creating certain inner conditions such as purifying negativity, accumulating merit, and receiving blessings.
In this retreat we focus on the preliminary practices of accumulating merit and receiving blessings. Making mandala offerings is the gateway to accumulating the collection of merit and attaining an enlightened pure land and Guru yoga is the gateway to receiving powerful blessings of all the Buddhas of the ten directions through our Spiritual Guide.
The practice is accomplished within the sadhana Offering to the Spiritual Guide.
- Session 1 - 9am - 10.30am
- Session 2 - 11.30am - 1pm
- Session 3 - 2.30pm - 4pm
- Session 4 - 5pm - 6.30pm
Kadam Ai Peng will give an introduction to the retreat in the first session. The sesssions themselves will be unguided; they are part of the Teacher Training Programme and and are suitable for those with some experience of Buddhist meditation and practice.
