Isle of Arran Retreat
Creating A Meaningful Life ~ Moving from Ordinary to Extraordinary
With Gen Kelsang Cho
April 28th – May 1st 2023
The perfect island getaway
Join us for this popular retreat on the Isle of Arran, a short journey from Glasgow.
Set in stunning scenery, as soon as you step on the boat you can begin to relax and unwind.
About the retreat
Receive practical yet profound instructions on living according to the way of life of a Bodhisattva. A Bodhisattva is someone who wants to create a happy and joyful world and for this reason is increasing their inner good qualities and following an altruistic way of life. Adopting a similar lifestyle can help everyone find deeply fulfilling and meaningful lives.
Learn how to experience peace and happiness, while making the world a better place.
Gen Kelsang Cho is a Buddhist monk and is the resident teacher of the Kadampa Meditation Centre in Rome. He has been practising for over 20 years under the guidance of Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. His great gifts of clarity and loving kindness are an inspiration to all.
