Silence In The City
~ A Mantra Meditation Retreat ~
with Resident Teacher, Gen Kelsang Chodor
Experience the Transformative Power of Mantra in Silence
This silent retreat offers a rare opportunity to engage deeply with the ancient practice of mantra recitation—a practice designed to calm the mind, dissolve mental distractions, and bring about profound inner transformation.
Throughout the retreat, we will be guided in meditations on the breath using the timeless mantra OM AH HUM, known as the “mantra of all Buddhas.” For thousands of years, this mantra has been recited to cultivate the qualities of enlightened body, speech, and mind, offering a path to clarity, inner peace, and a good heart. Inspired by the compassionate mind of Bodhichitta, the mantra will be recited quietly (mentally), allowing its transformative power to unfold naturally within.
This retreat is open to everyone, regardless of prior experience.
Everyone Welcome!
