We all face challenges, problems and hardships. We all suffer. We may have come to accept this as a natural part of life. Yet in actual fact this suffering is based entirely in the ignorance of the mind. That means there’s an answer, a solution, a light at the end the tunnel. There is happiness. Though we may read about ‘suffering’ is mentioned in Buddhist textbooks, there’s a more profound meaning to it, a concept to be understood, provided that we’re ready to open our eyes. The first step to this happiness is the first step on the Noble Eightfold Path: ‘Right View’. Instead of trying to solve our surface level problems, we should reach within ourselves and solve the problem at its core. This retreat is to show us the way, to act as a lighthouse, a way to see through these predicaments. There’s no need for past experiences or knowledge of Buddhist teachings. We’re all starting fresh, detoxing our mind by showing it the right view. So as long as you’ve got an open mind and the will to keep pushing on towards the light, you’re welcome to join us as we take our first steps towards a happier life.

Join us on this special residential retreat organised by Metta Centre and Ministry of Nirvana at the Karuna Sanctuary, Katoomba. There will be talks, Q & A sessions, guided meditation, outdoor activities, campfire and more.
