Foundation Program is so called because we can build a firm meditative and daily application of spiritual intent that greatly enhances our life. The book ‘The New Eight Steps to Happiness’ explains clearly how to accomplish such altruism. Those interested in such a path are invited to attend this open house in order to experience the format of the Program and to meet the existing participants. Hope to see you there!

Human lives are punctuated by various problems and suffering. When such situations arise, we have little or no ability to cope with them without becoming unhappy. Depending upon the situation we can be unhappy and miserable for long periods of time. Buddha’s teachings and methodologies offer a remedy to such conditions. If we regard Buddha as a doctor and his instructions as effective medicine, then we can cure our self of the sickness of despair. This course will explain and explore several remedies that overcome such despair.

Tara means ‘Rescuer.’ She is a manifestation of ultimate wisdom. If we rely upon Tara with strong faith she will protect us fromall obstacles and help fulfill our wishes. Because she is also a manifestation of the purified inner subtle wind element, she is able to bestow help very quickly. The retreat is open to anyone who has received any empowerment of any deity.

Pratimoksha vows are the foundational vows of moral discipline that every Buddhist should take and renew. The vows are to abandon killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying, and taking intoxicants. By promising to abstain from such actions, we protect our self from having to experience the great suffering of many rebirths in lower realms of existence, plus many additional sufferings. Thus, it is very wise to abstain from such negativity. The session will consist of teachings on the specific aspects of abandoning these faults and the value of moral discipline.
