About the event
Details and Timings
The retreat starts with dinner on the first day at 6:30pm and finishes on the final day at 2:30pm.Ultimately, however, you can place complete trust only in someone whose virtues are solid enough to survive any change in circumstances whatsoever. The Buddha has this rock-like quality… A Buddha may express himself in ways that are not what you expect or even welcome, but you can nonetheless entrust your ultimate welfare to him and his teaching. Likewise, the spiritual community, by virtue of its connection with transcendental ideals, can be broadly trusted to provide you with what you need, even if it’s not always what you want.Sangharakshita – Living Wisely
