post spring festival retreat 2025

Non–dual Profundity and Clarity

the Tantric Self-generation Practice of Buddha Maitreya

guided by guest teacher Kadam Morten Clausen

We are delighted to welcome Kadam Morten to Kailash IRC. Kadam Morten is renowned for his ability to present Buddha’s most profound teachings in simple and most practical ways, injecting a renewed enthusiasm and driving force in our ordinary life.

Following on from the International Spring Festival at Manjushri KMC, UK, Kadam Morten will lead a 5-day retreat based on the teachings and commentaries received at the Festival. On this retreat, we will deepen our experience of non-dual profundity and clarity by engaging in the self-generation Practice of Buddha Maitreya. Through identifying strongly with this Buddha’s qualities, we nurture them within ourselves. In this way we begin to become someone whose love transforms the world. This will be a wonderful opportunity to deepen our understanding of the teachings and to receive guidance from a highly qualified and experienced teacher.

In the meditation session breaks throughout the retreat there is time to relax and walk in the beautiful surroundings. Also, each person on a group retreat will help out in the breaks with a small job to ensure the retreat runs smoothly.

To maximise the benefit from this retreat, it is strongly recommended to attend the International Spring Festival to receive the blessing empowerment and teachings. Please click on the link below for more information and booking.
