A focused mind is indispensable in order to do anything well,
and the spiritual path is no exception. In this retreat, we will learn the

objects of meditation within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. This retreat will
also explore how to integrate this practice with other practices along the path
to enlightenment (Lamrim). Emily Hsu is
one of the few teachers within the FPMT selected by Lama Zopa Rinpoche as being
qualified to lead this type of retreat.
