Refuge Retreat
Sat 19th – Sun 20th Sep 2026
The foundation of the Buddhist way of life is to go for refuge: to Buddha, to guide us along the spiritual path to enlightenment; to Dharma (Buddha’s teachings) to protect us from fear and suffering; and to Sangha (those practising Buddha’s teachings) to inspire us, show a good example and to help us along the path to inner peace.
