This day-long retreat will explore how the teachings of Mahayana Buddhism play out, moment by moment, in our lives.

Focusing on our experience, we’ll delve into such questions as:

• How can we trust ourselves to know when to offer more of ourselves and when to offer less?
• When is it necessary to believe our thoughts? When is it necessary to step beyond them?
• How does a spirit of generosity lead to individual and collective freedom?
• What are the teachings of Absolute and Relative Bodhicitta, and how can we bring them to life as we work with others?
• How do all of our practices on the cushion support compassion in daily life?

The day will consist of meditation practice, brief talks, discussion, compassion practices and contemplations
