In this, and our previous lives, while under the influence of deluded states of mind, we performed many harmful actions and created a lot of negative karma. As a result, we now experience many difficulties, complications and sufferings and we struggle to make progress towards enlightenment.
As human beings we have a rare opportunity to purify the effects of our past negativity, which still lie ahead of us. One of the best methods for doing this is the Mahayana Sutra of the Three Superior Heaps.
On this special Urban Weekend Retreat, Gen Jampel will explain how to engage in this precious practice as well as guiding sessions so we can gain some experience in it.
Through following these instructions we can swiftly purify even the heaviest negative actions and remove the obstacles to our spiritual progress and ability to benefit others. In this way, we can make our human life truly meaningful.
