Creating a Pure Land: Guru Yoga & Mandala Offering Retreat
Dharmachakra Kadampa Buddhist Center, 923 Crossley Rd, Palm Springs, CA, USWe all wish for spiritual realizations, but these depend upon creating certain inner conditions such as purifying negativity, accumulating merit, and receiving blessings. In this retreat, we focus on the practices of accumulating merit and receiving blessings.
Our Kadampa teacher, Jen DeSantis, will explain this beautiful practice of imagining purity and wishing all living beings to experience world peace. This is a very beautiful traditional practice where we offer imagined pure worlds.
The sessions will include guidance on how to do this based on traditional texts.Everyone is welcome

Finding Balance in Your Life
Dharmachakra Kadampa Buddhist Center, 923 Crossley Rd, Palm Springs, CA, USLife can be both inspiring and demanding. Between work, relationships, technology, and constant change, it’s easy to feel pulled in many directions.
In this four-week meditation course, you’ll learn practical ways to develop a calm, balanced mind that stays steady no matter what’s happening around you.
Through guided meditations and simple contemplations, each class explores how to respond to life with equanimity rather than habit, helping you experience more ease, perspective, and inner balance—both on and off the meditation cushion.Each class will help you:
– Stay steady instead of being pulled around by stress, emotions, or circumstances
– Respond to challenges with less reactivity and more peace
– Cultivate a balanced, centered state of mind you can return to anytime
