Retreat description:
In the midst of life’s uncertainties, we often search for solid ground, a way to feel at ease without closing off, to stand strong without hardening the heart. This retreat invites you to explore the art of being at peace with life, not by turning away from its challenges, but by meeting them with clarity, kindness, and wise resilience.

Through meditation, reflection, and mindful presence, we’ll cultivate inner stillness, nurturing our kind heart that remains open even in the midst of difficulty, and developing a firm, graceful stand, an inner strength rooted in wisdom just as our teachers have done before us.

This is an opportunity to pause life for a while, reconnect with ourselves and what truly matters, and prove once more that, peace and well being isn’t something coming from outside; but something we grow within.

Welcome as you are. Leave with a quieter, clearer mind, a lighter heart, and the gentle power to stand tall in the flow of life.

Join us on this journey led by Bhante Rāhula, and let’s cultivate a joyful, down-to-earth, practical wisdom to carry with us, benefiting many.

We are very excited to announce that Bhante Rāhula from Mexico will be giving talks at EDG on 5/26/2024 and 6/23/2024. This will be Bhante’s first time sharing his teaching at EDG and we look forward to his presentations. Bhante is an expert in Abhidhamma, a skilled speaker, and an educator.

Introducing Bhante Rāhula

Bhante Rāhula, born in Mexico, has spent the last 22 years in Asia in various periods, where he has practiced and studied the Dhamma.

He was ordained in Myanmar by Sayadaw Dr. Nandamālābhivaṃsa, who is his preceptor. Since 2004 he has received meditation guidance from Sayadaw U Tejaniya. For 6 years, Bhante studied Suttas and Abhidhamma with Sayadaw Dr. Ukkamsacara in Macau. In 2019, he completed a course on Buddhist scriptures from Harvard University.

He underwent monastic Vinaya training for 2 years in Sasanarakkha Buddhist Sanctuary in Malaysia under the guidance of Ven. Ariyadhammika, where he also led retreats and Dhamma activities for the local community.

For the last 7 years, Bhante has offered continuous weekly courses on the anatomy of the mind (applied Abhidhamma) in English and Spanish, followed online by students in more than 15 countries.

In the beginning of 2023, Bhante conducted a Dhamma tour in South America, leading retreats and talks in Uruguay, Colombia and Ecuador.

Currently, Bhante is constructing the Mexican Buddhist Center (Paññābhūmi) to introduce and propagate the Buddha’s teaching in South America. He is also actively involved in diverse programs to aid parts of the society in overcoming drug addiction and alcoholism, as well as supporting educational campaigns for children and teens to prevent such problem in this region.
