Annual
Pure Mind, Pure World Retreat
Buddha Vajrasattva Purification Retreat
No registration is necessary for this event. Drop in to any session.
Buddha Vajrasattva "specializes"
in helping us to purify our mind. |
We
have all committed negative or non-virtuous actions
in the past which, if they are not purified, will
lead to suffering in this life or in future lives.
We can exhaust the effects of our negative actions
by living through the suffering with a happy mind
or we can purify our minds now, while we have
the ability and resources to do so, without having
to experience the consequences of our negative actions.
Don't
miss this precious opportunity to purify your negative
karma! Consider Geshe Kelsang Gyatso's words from Joyful Path of Good Fortune:
"In
a very short time we can purify all the negative karma
that we have created in the past. The potentialities
that we have created in our mind by our past negative
actions are formless. Since we cannot see them it
is easy to forget that they exist, but if our negative
karma were to possess form it would fill the entire
universe. All this negativity can be quickly consumed
if we use this human life to do strong purification,
just as a haystack is quickly consumed by a strong
fire."
