The Festival of Buddha’s Parinirvana, or entry into Eternal Meditation at death, is the focal point for the theme of this retreat, which centers on how death and dying are viewed in Buddhism, how we deal with it and how one may prepare for it. |

Bhaisajyaguru is the Buddha of Healing, and this retreat focuses on matters of illness, spiritual as well as physical, and how the medicine of the Dharma can help us to relieve our suffering and find true peace. We venerate Bhaisajyaguru at the beautiful Vigil and Festival ceremonies as part of this retreat. |
