Tong-Len
Weekend Retreat
with Ven. Rene Feusi
March 20-23
Suitable for beginners and
experienced students
Universal love is what gives us
a sense of self respect and self worth.
With it there is peace and contentment and life has depth
and a far reaching purpose. With universal love you will never
feel bored or lonely.
In this retreat we will learn
about one of the most powerful techniques within Tibetan
Buddhism of developing this universal love.
It is called "Tong-len" which means
"giving and taking".
By understanding that all the happiness there is in the
world comes from cherishing others, we train in giving freely.
And we imagine taking on others' difficulties in order to
increase our sense of genuine care.

Venerable
René Feusi, has been trained in the Gelugpa tradition
of Tibetan Buddhism in the experiential lineage of Lama
Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche.
He has been sharing
this experiential approach for the past 23 years. He
helps students get an intuition of their own inner
potential and inspires them to become meditators
themselves.

Venerable René’s
fascination for how the mind works and how it can be positively
transformed is infectious:
“Life is
exciting. The spiritual journey is about becoming a better human
being and give our lives far reaching meaning. The whole
spiritual work is challenging, it’s creative and it’s
fun.”
Some comments
from his students:
"Venerable
René has been the source of profound happiness and contentment
in my life. He has deeply changed it for the better. May he live
long."
"What
goes on is phenomenal. He takes me by the hand and gently shows
me how to get a sense, a feeling, a glimpse of how things really
are. Then alone I know how to find that place again and
cultivate it."
"Venerable
Rene has helped me to advance my meditation practice to places
I've never gone before."
"What a
fantastic teacher! Wonderfully gentle and compassionate with
penetrating insight and extremely practical."
