MAITRI BHAVANA

February 3rd

Date details +

    Maitri Bhavana, which means "meditation on loving kindness", is a mahayana practice used to support the very ill, physically or mentally. It includes the practice of tonglen which helps us develop a sense of generosity and compassion for the suffering of others.  This practice has been integrated to regular Sunday practice, once a month.

    You will find a list at the Centre where you can enter the names of your relatives or friends who are seriously ill. You can also send the names and illness to :[email protected]

    Programs without a price are free. For those programs with a price listed, please do not let price be an obstacle. Visit our generosity policy page.

    For programs that have a register button, it is helpful for us if you can indicate your intention to attend by registering ahead of time. In order to prevent duplicate entries in the Shambhala Database, all registrations are reviewed before you will receive a confirmation email.

    Our Refund Policy:  For convenience you can pay online using a credit card via PayPal. If we cancel the program for any reason, we will give you a full refund. We understand that sometimes after you have pre-paid, you might be unable to attend.  We will be happy to refund your payment if you request it at least 24 hours before the program starts.  Due to the difference in PayPal charges for purchases and refunds, we charge a nominal amount of $5 for a refund.
