Avalokiteshvara is an enlightened being who is the manifestation of the compassion of all Buddhas. On this half-day retreat we will learn how to practise prayers and meditations that enable us to draw closer to Avalokiteshvara. In The Mirror of Dharma with Additions, Venerable Geshe Kelsang Gyatso Rinpoche explains: “The benefits of engaging in the practice of this sadhana are immeasurable. Through sincerely practising the instructions presented in this sadhana we can first solve our own daily problems by controlling our desire, anger and ignorance, and then with this ability we can lead people throughout the world to the correct spiritual path through which they can find the real meaning of human life”.
