SUMMARY:Awakening Compassion:Shantideva’s Guide to Developing Bodhichitta & Spiritual Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Amsterdam City Retreat (Friday)\n\nThe path of the Bodhisattva begins in the heart. This weekend retreat invites practitioners to dive deeply into the first two chapters of Shantideva’s The Bodhisattva’s Way of Life\, exploring the cultivation of bodhichitta—the awakened mind of compassion—and the power of reliance on the spiritual guide. \nThrough inspiring teaching\, guided meditation\, and reflective practice\, we will explore the benefits of generating bodhichitta in our daily lives: how selfless intention can transform our thoughts\, actions\, and relationships\, and how it becomes the foundation for courage\, wisdom\, and resilience. \nWe will also examine the practice of reliance on the spiritual guide\, uncovering how humility\, honest reflection\, and guidance from a realized teacher support the unfolding of wisdom and the deepening of compassion. Participants will engage in practical exercises and meditations designed to integrate these principles directly into their practice and daily life. \nBy blending philosophy\, contemplative reflection\, and experiential meditation\, this retreat offers a living approach to the Bodhisattva’s way—transforming understanding into heartfelt action. Ideal for intermediate practitioners seeking to strengthen their foundation in compassion\, wisdom\, and mindful awareness\, this weekend provides both inspiration and practical tools to cultivate an awakened heart. Some background in Buddhism helpful. \n\nAmsterdam City Retreat Details\nWHEN: Friday June 26\nTIME: 7.00-8.30pm CET\nWHERE: Online Only \nWHEN: Saturday & Sunday June 27 & 28\nTIME: 10.00am – 4.00pm CET\nWHERE: Onsite & Online

SUMMARY:Authentic Illumination:Lama Tsong Khapa Guru Yoga asa Path to Deepening our Wisdom and Compassion
DESCRIPTION:Amsterdam City Retreat (Friday)\nCompassion isn’t something we simply aspire to — it’s a state we can actively cultivate through practice. This weekend retreat invites practitioners into a powerful exploration of Lama Tsongkhapa Guru Yoga as a direct method for awakening compassion\, clarity\, and inner strength. \nOver the weekend\, we’ll unpack the meaning and purpose behind deity practice—why we visualize enlightened beings\, why mantra shapes the mind\, and how these methods open the heart. \nThrough guided meditation\, discussion\, and integrated exercises\, participants will learn how Guru Yoga becomes the unifying thread: a practice that connects us to wisdom\, dissolves obstacles\, and brings the vast qualities of enlightenment into our own experience. \nTogether\, we’ll build a clear and practical structure for practicing Lama Tsongkhapa Guru Yoga\, understanding how it supports daily life and deepens our capacity to meet the world with kindness and clarity. \nPerfect for intermediate practitioners looking to strengthen their foundation and re-energize their path\, this retreat offers a grounded yet inspiring approach to transforming the mind from the inside out. \nWe hear about deity practice in the Buddhist system\, but what is the significance? How do visualizations and mantra recitation of the Buddha\, Tara\, Vajrasattva\, or other aspects of the enlightened mind support our lives\, and what is the role of guru yoga? This program will thoroughly explore these practices and give practitioners a clear structure and understanding of how to put it all together for the greatest benefit — both in cultivating compassion and deepening wisdom. Intermediate level. \n\n\nAmsterdam City Retreat Details\nWHEN: May 22\nTIME: 7.00 – 8.30pm CET\nWHERE: Online Only\nHOSTED BY: Maitreya Instuut \nWHEN: May 23 & 24\nTIME: 10.00am – 4.00pm CET\nWHERE: Onsite & Online\nHOSTED BY: Maitreya Instuut

SUMMARY:From Ground to Goal:A Meditative Journey Through the Lamrim
DESCRIPTION:Amsterdam City Retreat (Friday)\n\nThe Buddhist path unfolds step by step—and the Lamrim\, the “Stages of the Path\,” offers a complete roadmap for awakening that is as relevant today as it was centuries ago. This weekend retreat brings these timeless teachings to life through accessible explanations\, guided meditation\, and practical application. \nTogether\, we’ll explore key stages of the Lamrim—from cultivating a meaningful motivation and understanding our precious human life\, to developing renunciation\, compassion\, and the wisdom that sees the nature of reality. Each session will weave teaching with experiential practice\, offering participants a direct encounter with the clarity\, purpose\, and inner freedom these steps are designed to awaken. \nRather than presenting Lamrim as a list of topics\, this retreat reveals it as a living path—a dynamic progression that transforms how we think\, act\, and relate to others. With grounded guidance and space for personal reflection\, practitioners will learn how to integrate these stages into meditation and daily life\, creating a stable foundation for ongoing spiritual growth. \nIdeal for students seeking a clear structure for their practice or wishing to reconnect with the heart of the Buddhist path\, this weekend offers a fresh\, engaging\, and transformative approach to the Lamrim. Open to all levels\, but some background in Buddhism helpful. \n\nAmsterdam City Retreat Details\nWHEN: Friday April 24\nTIME: 7.00-8.30pm CET\nWHERE: Online Only \nWHEN: Saturday & Sunday April 25 & 26\nTIME: 10.00am – 4.00pm CET\nWHERE: Onsite & Online

SUMMARY:From Fear to Freedom: An Evening with Green Tara
DESCRIPTION:Step into the new year with courage\, clarity\, and an open heart.\nGreen Tara — the embodiment of compassion\, protection\, and fearless action — has long been revered as the swift liberator from fear and obstacles. In times of challenge or uncertainty\, her presence reminds us of our innate capacity for resilience\, joy\, and boundless compassion. \nArya Tara’s qualities of courage\, unconditional care\, and protective strength naturally awaken those same qualities within us. She is compassion in action — ready to rise from her lotus seat and respond instantly to the needs of the world. Practicing with Green Tara helps dissolve fears\, loosen inner blockages\, and cultivate the confidence to meet life with wisdom and love. \nIn this uplifting year-end program\, Venerable Amy Miller will guide a gentle and accessible Green Tara practice designed to: \n\n\n\nClear away the negativities of the past year\nOpen the heart to compassion—for yourself and others\nSet clear intentions for the year ahead\nStrengthen resilience and inner courage\nInvite renewed joy and clarity into your life.\n\n\n\nLet this New Year’s Eve be a fresh start—grounded\, inspired\, and open to possibility.

SUMMARY:Preparing for Death with Confidence Online Only
DESCRIPTION:One of Tibetan Buddhism’s greatest gifts to the world is how to think about and prepare for death. It offers an array of practices to ease this important transition in our lives. His Holiness the Dalai Lama says it is possible to die without fear and regret\, and\, in fact\, to die with joy. Venerable Amy will introduce a variety of techniques we can practice to experience dying in this way.  She will also help us understand what happens at the time of death and how to help others who are passing away. \nIt’s helpful to have some background in Buddhism. \nRegister: Tse Chen Ling Center

SUMMARY:Preparing for Death with  Confidence and Compassion  Online Only
DESCRIPTION:Our Mettaverse (online only) \n\nOctober 20\, 6 – 7:30pm (Pacific time)\, 9 – 10:30pm (Eastern time)\n\nWhile we generally think of death as an anxiety-producing experience of loss\, it can also be a time of great opportunity if we have trained our minds.

She will also help us understand what happens at the time of death\, how we can utilize thought transformation (lojong) and other techniques\, how mantras and prayers can be helpful\, and how to help others who are passing away. \nHelpful to have some background in Buddhism.

SUMMARY:City Retreat Weekend: Authentic Illumination
DESCRIPTION:Authentic Illumination – Mapping our Path to Enlightenment through Guru Yoga and Lam Rim Meditation\nOur path to enlightenment involves a clear methodical system of stages and practices to help us transform our current state of confusion and suffering to the ultimate goal of complete awakening. The Lam Rim (Stages of the Path) outlines these steps in a uniquely progressive way helping practitioners navigate their spiritual journey with clarity and purpose. However\, most students are not clear on how to approach Lam Rim meditation to actualize realizations. Isn’t it time to get started and understand how to do it most effectively? See more details on the center’s website. \nSome background in Buddhism helpful. Online and in-person.
