Spring Meditation Retreat

Spring Meditation Retreat

Thursday, April 30 · 4:00 AM

This Spring Meditation Retreat at Samye Hermitage New York offers a clear and well-structured opportunity to return to meditation practice as it is taught within a living lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, under the guidance of Phakchok Rinpoche's lineage teachings. The retreat emphasizes steady, foundational practice—beginning with settling the body and mind and cultivating familiarity with awareness. Rather than focusing on intensity or striving, the program supports a grounded and sustainable approach to meditation, drawing directly from Samye Institute's core teachings. Practices include establishing shamatha (calm abiding) as the indispensable foundation, as well as guidance on working with awareness throughout daily life. Situated on 26 acres in Cooperstown, NY. Open to all levels.
