About the event

Training the Heart, Training the Mind
Join us for a 3-Night Retreat in the Heart of the Bushveld during this full moon weekend.

Reconnect with your innate wisdom and compassion during this 3-night Buddhist retreat at the serene Tara Rokpa Retreat Centre, nestled in the tranquil Bushveld region of South Africa. Guided by Lama Zangpo, this retreat will offer a deep dive into exploring the transformative teachings of Lojong (Mind Training), a practical approach to cultivating resilience, kindness, and wisdom in daily life.

Through Dharma talks, meditation, reflections, and group practice, you’ll develop tools to soften the heart, open the mind, and meet life’s challenges with greater equanimity and compassion. Whether you are new to Buddhist practice or looking to deepen your path, this retreat provides a supportive and nurturing environment for inner growth and connection.

Additional highlights include fresh air nature walks, time for rest and reflection, birdwatching, moon gazing under the clear Bushveld sky, and nourishing vegetarian meals to support deep relaxation and renewal.

All are welcome. No prior experience is required.

The retreat is guided by Lama Zangpo, the first African-born Lama. His meditation journey began in 1996 when he met Lama Yeshe Rinpoche at Kagyu Samye Dzong Johannesburg and became a resident volunteer. His spiritual path took him from the Holy Isle to Arran, and later to Nepal, where he pursued intensive study and practice under the guidance of Drupon Rinpoche at the Thrangu Sekhar retreat. He has also supported communities in South Africa, the Congo, and most recently in Glasgow, where he now resides, helping to nurture and grow the local Buddhist community. Lama Zangpo is known for his compassionate approach and understanding of Buddhist meditation, making this weekend accessible for both beginners and those with more experience.
