OM TARE TUTTARE TURE SOHA Please see below for detailed information and start making plans to attend Kadampa Center's First Annual Tara Retreat.  Offered in-person onsite at Kadampa Center and (partially) online via Zoom and YouTube.

Tara liberates from cyclic existence, from all fears, and from all sickness.  Mother Tara is the embodiment of compassion in action.  With her twenty-one emanations, she is capable of helping in every circumstance.  According to Sera Jey Khensur Rinpoche Jetsun Lobsang Delek, our Geshes' teacher who consecrated our Tara statues, Kadampa Center has a special relationship with Tara.  The upcoming Tara retreat provides an incredible opportunity to deepen our connection to this powerful female Buddha of Compassionate Action.

To help us clear obstacles in our spiritual lives and to help us attain our positive goals, both spiritual and mundane, our precious geshes ~ Geshe Gelek and Geshe Sangpo ~ have offered to hold annual Tara retreats at Kadampa Center.  Each and every one of you are invited and encouraged to attend, thereby reaping the benefits of these ancient practices rooted in Buddhism.  No experience is necessary and being Buddhist is not a requirement; you do not need to register, nor are there any fees in order to participate.  The Tara retreat is open to all; its sole purpose is to be of benefit to you, your loved ones, and to all living beings.  Please plan to participate in this truly remarkable and rare opportunity.
