The Profound Treasury Retreat is a 9-day Buddhist meditation and study retreat based on the Buddhist teachings of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche. We welcome meditators of all ages and traditions to join us in studying and practicing in a contemplative environment on the coast of Maine.
The theme of this year’s retreat is “Brokering Peace”. These challenging times have intensified the friction between personal peace, environmental peace, economic peace, and cultural peace. The idea of peace as a shared reality seems hopeless, given the chasms that separate us on issues of politics, culture, gender, and race. Our endeavors for peace often seem to perpetuate distance rather than understanding. How can Buddhist teachings and practices help with such challenges? Our main emphasis will be on the lojong teachings. The practice of lojong or “mind training” is based on expressing our practice through compassionate and effective actions. It challenges us to show up authentically and to be curious as to how to actively engage in the world. At this time in our human development our gaze must be raised. Rather than merely envisioning peace, we are now called upon to engage with the world in a way that awakens peace. The Profound Treasury Retreats have included both newer and longer-term participants, including some who attended the original programs on which this material is based. The combination of new and old brings fresh energy to the retreat environment. Everyone is encouraged to see themselves as both a learner and a teacher in this community.
