Day Retreat

“Though in the world there is strife, here may there be love”

This beautiful line from the Dedication Ceremony is often recited at the start of retreats and other Dharma events. The Ceremony helps us gather our energies, focus the mind, and set intentions for the practice we are about to undertake.

On this Day Retreat, we will explore the meaning of this line through the lens of an important Buddhist teaching: the Four Samgrahavastus, the “means of unification” or “bases of sympathy.” These four qualities—generosity, kindly speech, beneficial activity, and exemplification—offer practical methods for building, sustaining, and renewing a harmonious spiritual community.

The Day Retreat is for everyone who has already attended at least one course with Scarborough Buddhist Group.
