Weekend Retreat: When the Chocolate Runs Out

“I could tell you about attachment for one whole year, but you’ll never begin to really understand it until you start to look deeply inside.” Lama Yeshe

REGISTRATION REQUIRED :)

Getting what we want, like delicious chocolate, a great job or a new partner, is our main method for achieving happiness, and we certainly work hard at it! But what if we lose it? Or what if we can’t find it? What then?

Behind the world of attachment lies the origin of all our problems, according to Buddha’s teachings. We therefore need to understand exactly what it is or as Lama Zopa Rinpoche puts it, it will seem that we have to give up happiness when we heard that we have to give up attachment.

Venerable Robina Courtin will teach from Lama Yeshe’s book When the Chocolate Runs out, to explain to us what attachment is, how it promises us happiness and only delivers suffering in the long run and the real happiness we can access when we give it up.
Open door, open heart – drop in anytime in person or via Zoom. Donations are always optional.
