A Vision of the Cosmos
Torstai 4 Joulukuu – Sunnuntai 7 Joulukuu at Retreat centre Abhayaloka
Is the universe basically dead?
The Buddha didn’t seem to think so.
As well as humans, he’s said to have taught devas, nāgas, yakshas and more - non-material beings that point to the richest possible conception of life.
What are we to make of this now? How might we see nature in this way? And why might this perspective be more needed than ever?
Join Prajnaketu for a long weekend retreat exploring the Ratana Sutta, with talks, discussion, ritual, meditation, and silence.
You can book now by paying the deposit (40€) and the rest later. Please book at the latest on 24.11.2025
