You are invited to an opening of the-heart retreat.

Tendar will teach the technique of calm abiding meditation-Shamatha meditation. When practised correctly we learn to be gentle with ourselves while cultivating kindness in our relationships with others. The time that we spend at Buddhist Retreat is a precious space we create for ourselves to allow the sacred teachings to flow over and through us. At Buddhist Retreat we renew our spiritual connection and allow our minds to breathe and become spacious. From Buddhist Retreat we take the tools that equip us to function more consciously in the world.

These retreats are suitable for beginners, practitioners and non-practitioners. Everyone is welcome.

What participants of past retreats have to say ...

I attended the Chenrezig retreat held at Iluka in March (2006). This was my first residential retreat and my experience of the weekend was immense. I was very fortunate to be able to attend a week long (daily) retreat with my Yoga teacher prior to the weekend and I feel that this helped me prepare for the intensity and strength of Tendar's retreat.

Tendar's presence, knowledge and teaching is something that no words can give justice to and it seems futile to try and describe. Suffice to say that the safe haven he created allowed me and others to look at ourselves honestly with openness and compassion. This at times was incredibly painful and confronting however, with the compassion of Chenrezig with me I felt able to undertake this examination.

I made valuable connections with a number of people attending the retreat and I intend to nurture these friendships with love and compassion. How privileged I feel to have been a part of this weekend and even though I live quite some distance away, I have deep respect and feelings for the sense of community created.

I was very priviledged and honoured to participate in the last retreat at Shoreham - my thanks go to Tendar and Sheryl for making it possible - I helped set up and saw the amazing transformation of the space and I felt myself transformed also by Tendar's energy and grace - I felt myself softening and letting go into the heart and enjoying just being in the presence of a true master.

kind regards, and best wishes - Linda

Tendar works from the Heart in all he speaks,his actions, teaching from the mind and spiritually towards all he meets. I have been honoured to have gentle healing and feel blessed to have been offered such a treasure. What a gift we all have in having this man in our presence in Australia. To learn so many healing tools from this gifted person will flow through all who have encountered being with this sacred spirit. Thankyou and Blessings to you Tendar from my heart to your heart,

sincerely - Judith
