THE LOVE OF BEAUTY: A Meditation Retreat in Nature

Take a breath of fresh air, and let the beauty of Nature inspire your inner beauty…

In this retreat, we will explore the beauty of trees, plants, animals, the sky, wind, and all of Nature at Ratna Ling, to understand your own true nature–the beauty and wonder of being you. Being outside helps heal the disconnect between head, heart, and senses. This retreat will help to restore intimacy with yourself and with the world, and nourish what is innately beautiful and perfect within you.

While Bodhicitta is often translated literally as ‘enlightenment mind,’ it is not related to thoughts. Bodhicitta is universal goodness that never fails. It has the power to dispel all obstacles; it cannot be manipulated by the Marayas, and its light cannot be diminished or destroyed. Its blessings illuminate our minds and lift us out of the confining realms of samsara.

Through prayer and meditation, we will exercise our capacities to connect more quickly with blessings and move ourselves up to the gates of enlightenment.
