Silence Retreat

An opportunity to disconnect from the noise and tension of daily life and discover the healing effect of meditation and silence.
When our mind becomes still and quiet, we naturally experience happiness and contentment.
The retreat ends on Sunday morning with a Meditation Walk at Quinta da Ribafria and lunch at the Temple (optional).
No meditation experience is necessary.

Gen Kelsang Rigden is the resident teacher at the Kadampa Temple in Sintra.
He is a monk who, with his example of closeness, sense of humour and clarity in explaining the teachings, encourages us to practise meditation and apply the Buddha’s advice to our lives with sincerity.

Date: 22, 23 and 24 September
