Compassion Fasting Retreat

April 15th marks the anniversary of Buddha Shakyamuni demonstrating the attainment of enlightenment in 589 B.C.E. This is an extremely important day in the Buddhist calendar because our actions are 100,000 times more powerful than on other days. Kadampa Buddhists celebrate with a special purification and fasting retreat that is done in Kadampa Buddhist Centers worldwide. It is very powerful for purifying negative karma of body, speech, and mind, and for pacifying strong delusions such as desirous attachment and hatred. It is also a special method for receiving blessings and improving our experience of love, compassion and bodhichitta. Thursday, April 6 Session 1 – 6:30am – 8am Session 2 – 10:30am – 12pm Session 3 – 3-4:30pm Friday, April 7 Session 1 – 6:30am – 8am Session 2 – 10:30am – 12pm Session 3 – 3pm -4:30pm If you have any questions please email: [email protected] We are a non-profit organization. We have class fees to cover expenses such as rent for a commercial space. The payments for each class allow us to fulfill our mission. Still, we try to keep these fees to a minimum to allow everyone to participate and never turn anyone away if they cannot afford it. Free parking is available in the lot behind the Center and on the surrounding neighborhood streets. Learn more about our different levels of membership. https://meditationinhouston.org/membership/
