compassion, courage & Clarity:
a padmasambhava retreat day

Sunday 5th July 2026 (10am - 4pm)

Open to all who have completed a course and are familiar with how we practice

Join Kusaladevi and Shuddhanara for a day retreat at the Nottingham Buddhist Centre exploring the inspiring figure of Padmasambhava.

Known as the great tantric master who helped establish Buddhism in Tibet in the 8th century, Padmasambhava is a powerful symbol of fearless compassion, transformation, and awakened wisdom. His life and teachings continue to inspire practitioners to meet the challenges of life with courage, clarity, and an open heart.

Both Kusaladevi and Shuddhanara have a deep personal connection with Padmasambhava, having received the Padmasambhava Sadhana practice during their ordination retreats.

Through meditation, ritual, talks, reflection, and sangha, this retreat day offers an opportunity to enter the rich symbolic world of Padmasambhava and connect more deeply with the compassionate wisdom at the heart of the Dharma.
