Lamrim Retreat
Introductory Talk with Kadampa Buddhist Nun, Kelsang Chokyi
August 21st, 9:30am to 11:00am
The practice of Lamrim is very important because everyone needs to cultivate peaceful states of mind. By listening to or reading these teachings we can learn how to control our mind and always keep a good motivation in our heart. This will make all our daily actions pure and meaningful.
