Going on Retreat at Lotus Lake Buddhist Center
Retreat at Doonkar Retreat House
White Conch retreats are held on the sacred consecrated monastery and retreat grounds of Domo Geshe Rinpoche called Lotus Lake Buddhist Center and Monastery. While resting under the pines of the very quiet Meditation or Jetavana Groves, you might even sense the presence of a Pure Land.
Rooms are in the quietude of the Lotus Lake Retreat Center. Enjoy three excellent vegetarian meals per day with homemade bread, our own yogurt, kombucha and many other gourmet specialties. Practice walking meditation on the kora path around a beautiful lotus pond with the large Buddha statue at the head.
On group retreats there are daily dharma teachings in the spacious Temple and informal sharing by Rinpoche or senior students over breakfast or lunch. Whether you are seated in Norbu’s Great Room under the Wish Granting Tree, visiting the organic vegetable and flower gardens or are in your own room, the environment has been specially created to make it easy to quiet your mind, learn without distractions and be under the care of our kind retreat master and teacher.
