Finding True Protection: A Day of Refuge
Are you searching for something you can always rely on for comfort and guidance? Join us this morning to explore the transformative practice of going for refuge—a foundational element of the Buddhist path that offers profound protection, peace, and inspiration.
This retreat will introduce you to the powerful practice of seeking refuge in the Three Jewels—Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. Together, these three treasures guide us toward lasting inner peace and a permanent escape from suffering.
Going for refuge is like placing your trust in a compassionate team of experts. Buddha is the wise physician offering the medicine of his teachings (the Dharma), while the Sangha is the devoted support network—like compassionate nurses—who help nurture and encourage your spiritual growth.
What to Expect:
The day will be a blend of insightful teachings, guided meditations, and personal reflection. You will also have time to share and discuss with others, supported by a nourishing vegetarian lunch and refreshments. All of this takes place in the peaceful and welcoming atmosphere of the Akanishta Centre, easily accessible with parking and public transport nearby.
No prior experience is necessary—this retreat is for everyone. Whether you are new to Buddhism or looking to deepen your understanding and practice, you will find a welcoming and supportive space here.
About the Teacher:
This course is led by Guy Fforde, an experienced and compassionate Buddhist teacher known for presenting profound teachings in an approachable and practical way. Guy’s warm and engaging style will help you connect with the heart of Buddhist wisdom, making it easy to apply to your daily life.
Everyone is welcome—whether you are new to meditation or experienced. We look forward to welcoming you to this meaningful and enriching day.
