A Retreat with Dr. Hun Lye
December 7 - 9
Have you noticed how consistently sane, good and free the Dalai Lama seems to be? Have you wondered what his secret is? In fact, his freedom is an open secret—a secret that he and many others trained in his tradition travel the world to offer to anyone willing to listen and learn.
In these challenging and troubling times, gaining the ability to safeguard our basic sanity and wellness is the first step to being able to be good in the world and for the world. Charity starts at the home of our heart.
Dr. Hun Lye’s approach to teaching is very clear and straightforward. He’s able to provided a historical and cultural context to the Buddha’s words that deepens our understanding here in the West. Over the weekend, Dr. Lye will guide participants in gaining greater ability in changing attitudes, opening hearts, and experiencing authentic spiritual freedom.
