Without a home the Bodhisattva’s wander, dharmas never hold them,
Nor do they grasp at them – the Jina's Bodhi they are bound to gain. Ratnagunasamcayagatha
In 1976,shortly after he arrived at Padmaloka, Urgyen Sangharakshita conducted three seminars on classic Buddhist texts. One of these was on the first two chapters of the Prajnaparamita Ratnagunasamcayagatha, the Perfection of Wisdom which is a Storehouse of Precious Qualities, which some regard as the oldest portion of the vast Perfection of Wisdom literature.
During the seminar, Bhante revealed such treasures as ‘the Greater Mandala’ and the Bodhisattvas lila or play. So, for a few days let’s join the Bodhisattvas and ‘wander without a home’; let’s play in the Greater Mandala.

Coming on a retreat at Padmaloka is a step into another way of being, where we temporarily take up a way of life that is more supportive of Buddhist Practice. We go forth from our ordinary circumstances, our comforts and distractions so that we can discern and move towards our ideals and help others to do so as well.
When booking a retreat at Padmaloka it is important to get a sense of how you will be living here - what our customs, etiquettes and requirements for being on retreat are.
