A WEEKEND MEDITATION RETREAT AT DNJ

In the midst of busy lives filled with noise, distraction, and relentless activity, we rarely give the mind the space it needs to truly settle. The Shravasti Meditation Retreat offers just that, a supported, gentle container in which to turn inward, reconnect with the breath, and touch the natural stillness that is always already present.

Guided by Venerable Khenmo Sonam Choenzin, the retreat draws on the Anapanasati Sutra, the Buddha's foundational teaching on mindfulness of breathing, presented through the lens of the Drikung Kagyu Vajrayana tradition.

A NOTE ABOUT SUGGESTED RATES AND DONATION-BASED REGISTRATION

Registration for this retreat is offered on a donation basis, and no one will be turned away due to lack of funds. The minimum donation is $1.08, with a suggested rate of $75-$150 per day.

We warmly invite you to give as generously as you are able. Hosting these events involves significant costs — texts, logistics, and offerings for our lamas and translators — as well as the ongoing expenses of maintaining the center and sustaining its programs throughout the year. Your generosity makes all of this possible, and it is through your kindness and support that the Dharma continues to flourish here.
