The January retreats at Manjushri KMC got underway last night when Gen Kelsang Rabten, National Spiritual Director for Australasia and South East Asia, introduced the first two weeks of the retreat to a packed Temple.

The first retreat is on Training in Contemplation based on the teachings given at the Fall Festival in Arizona last September.

In his introduction, Gen Rabten gave a very clear explanation of the meaning of contemplation and its importance in helping us to meditate effectively so that we can enjoy our meditation.

We all left the Temple looking forward to more!
