Complete Purity: the practice of Vajrasattva

Vajrasattva practice is a method to remove the obstacles that are preventing us from experiencing inner peace and enjoying our life. While reciting the mantra, we concentrate on removing the negative karma in our mind by applying the Four Powers of Reliance, Regret, Opponent Force and Promise.

Come and enjoy this special retreat to gain an inner wisdom of complete purity…understanding how this is possible.

“Once we have purified our mind of self-grasping and all other delusions, all our actions will naturally be pure. As a result of our pure actions or pure karma, everything we experience will be pure. We will abide in a pure world, with a pure body, enjoying pure enjoyments and surrounded by pure beings. There will no longer be the slightest trace of suffering, impurity or problems. This is how to find true happiness from within our mind.” — Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, How to Transform Your Life
